question:
As the marketing designer for Burger King, you are given a 4 in by 6 in logo and have been told to create an advertisement with sides six times larger. What is the area of your advertisement (in feet)? [12 inches = 1 ft]

my answer:
4/6 * 6/6 = 24/36

The dimentions of the larger ad is 24 in by 36 in.

864/12 = 72

The area of the ad is 72 square feet.

I agree to the point where you said that the new dimensions are 24 in by 36 inches.

joannablackwelder · Answer

From there, I would convert these lengths into feet before finding the area.

joannablackwelder · Answer

We can convert once we find the area, but it is a little tricky.

So, how many feet is 24 inches?

Oh, ok, I get it, here's my correction:

4/6 * 6/6 = 24/36

The dimentions of the larger ad is 24 in by 36 in.

24/12 = 2

36/12 = 3

2 * 3 = 6



The area of the ad is 6 square feet.
