Answer:

The length of the copy of the dollar bill is 4.88 inches in length and 2.08 inches in width.

Explanation:

If Dani wants to make a smaller copy of a dollar bill and reduce its size to 80%, you will need to multiply the dollar bills original length by 8%.

80% = 0.8

0.8 x 6.1 = 4.88

80% = 0.8

0.8 x 2.6 = 2.08
