Sarah is making a scale drawing of a painting that is 48 in. wide by 120 in. high. Her paper is 12 in. wide and 24 in. tall. She decides to use the scale 1 in. = 4 in. Is this a reasonable scale?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

If 1 in on the paper will be the equivalent of 4 in on the painting, how big will the scale drawing of the painting be? Is that larger or smaller than the sheet of paper? If it is larger, I'll suggest that isn't a good scale to use :-)
