The length of the enlarged copy in feet is 2.7 feet.

Explanation:

  • The painting is 4 inches wide and 2 feet long.
  • convert inches into feet (1 inch=0.083 foot). Therefore, 4 inches=0.3 feet
  • The enlarged copy is 1 foot wide and 'x' feet long.

The width is enlarged from 0.3 to 1 which is increased by 0.7 feet.

∴ The length should also be increased by 0.7 feet = 2+0.7 = 2.7 feet
