Answer 1

Answer:

0.42 ft

0.92 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Width of mural on painting = 5 inches

Height of mural on painting = 11 inches

12 inches of the painting represents 1 foot of the mural

1 inch of the painting represenets $\dfrac{1}{12}$ foot of the mural.

$5\ \text{inches}=5\times \dfrac{1}{12}=0.42\ \text{ft}$

$11\ \text{inches}=11\times\dfrac{1}{12}=0.92\ \text{ft}$

The width of the mural is 0.42 ft and height of the mural is 0.92 ft.
