Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we will convert dimensions of poster from feet to inches.
Now let us compare sides of our original photo with corresponding sides of poster.
Now let us compare the second pair of corresponding sides.
We have seen that sides of poster are 9 times the sides of our original photo, therefore, the scale factor of this dilation is 9.
