First, convert 4 feet into inches - 48 inches. Then, divide 48 by 14 to get 3.43, so he can have 3 14-inch long pieces. To get the left over out of a foot, take 14 x 3 to get 42, then subtract 42 from your original 48 inches to get 6 inches left, which is half of a foot.
Answer is 3 because when you solve its 3 or less
We know how wide the billboard will be. Therefore, to know how much the original image should be enlarged, you must divide the final width of the billboard between the current width of the invoice.
We know both data, then we perform the operation:
48 feet /6.14 inches = 7.81 feet / inches
.
Therefore the correct answer is option D. 1″ = 7.81′
For the bill to cover the billboard, the bill must be expanded by a factor of 7.81 feet long per inch long that has the original image.
