Need steps please

Answer 1

Answer:54 th

Explanation:

Given

Poster has an area of
`A=1\ ft^2`

Size of photo is
`(1)/(3)\ ft* (3)/(5)\ ft`

and we know

`1\ ft\ \text{is equal to}\ 0.3048\ m`

so
`(1)/(3)\ ft` is
`0.1016\ m`

`(3)/(5)\ ft` is
`0.1828\ m`

So area of photo is

`a=0.1016* 0.1828`

`a=0.01858\ m^2`

ratio of area of photo and poster is

`\Rightarrow (a)/(A)=(0.01858)/(1)\approx (1)/(53.819)\approx (1)/(54)`

So photo will acquire
`54^(th)` Part of poster
