alexdok [17]
Today is March, 19th 2016
so from 1992 have been: 2016 - 1992 = 24 years

November + December + January + February = 4 months
and some days more, 19 days because today is 19th, so the total is:

Lena [83]
Answer:

You will not be able to find the area of the framed painting without finding the length, which you did not provide. Assuming you meant “3 inches wide” to actually mean the length then the surface area of the painting is 9 inches squared. However, to find the height, you must divide 3 by 2.5 as the width was said to be 2.5 times the height of the painting. This will give you an answer of 1.2 inches in height.
