Question

Darius wants to create a large mural to cover part of his wall. He drew a sketch of his design to

determine the amount of canvas he needs. The area of the design was 0.4 square feet. If the
actual mural will have dimensions 6 times that of the design, how many square feet of canvas
will Darius need?

Answer 1

Model mural::

L*W = 0.3 sq. ft

--------------

Actual mural::

(5L)(5W) = 25*LW = 25*0.3 = 7.5 sq ft.
