Answer:

0.056 foot-candles

Explanation:

The distance change from 5 m to 9 m is an increase by a factor of 9/5. The light intensity varies as the inverse square of this, so will be multiplied by ...

1/(9/5)² = (5/9)² = 25/81

The intensity at 9 meters will be ...

(0.18 foot-candles) × 25/81 = 0.05555... foot-candles ≈ 0.056 foot-candles
