Question

Belle made a scale drawing of a mural where 2 inches of the drawing represents 3 feet on the actual mural (scale 2 in. = 3 ft.). In real life, the mural is 6 feet tall and 18 feet wide. What is the area of her drawing in square inches?

Answer 1

Very sorry if this is wrong but, I think the answer would be 48 inches.

Explanation:

If every 3ft. = 2in. then I believe you would first divide the length and width by 3. So 6 divided by 3 is 2 and 18 divided by 3 is 6. Then you would multiply 2 and 6 by 2 since every 3ft = 2in.
