The scale is determined by dividing the respective measures of the two paintings.

Original painting mural scale factor

3    15    original / mural = 3 / 15 = 1 / 5

2    10    original / mural = 2 / 10 = 1 / 5

As you see the scale to comparing the original to the mural es   1 feet : 5 feet.

It means that the measures of the original painting must be multiplied by 5 to obtain the measures of the mural.
