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 that is six times larger. What is the area of your advertisement (in feet)? [12 inches = 1 ft] Enter the numerical answer only
To calculate the area of the advertisement, we first need to find the area of the logo.
Given that the logo is 4 inches by 6 inches, we can calculate its area using the formula:
Area = Length × Width
Area = 4 inches × 6 inches
Area = 24 square inches
Next, we need to scale up the logo by a factor of six.
To find the new dimensions, we multiply each side of the logo by six:
New Length = 4 inches × 6 = 24 inches
New Width = 6 inches × 6 = 36 inches
Now, we can calculate the area of the advertisement using the scaled-up dimensions:
Area = New Length × New Width
Area = 24 inches × 36 inches
Area = 864 square inches
Since we're asked for the area in square feet, we need to convert the inches to feet. Given that 12 inches equal 1 foot, we can divide the area in square inches by 144 (12 inches × 12 inches):
Area in square feet = Area in square inches / 144
Area in square feet = 864 square inches / 144
Area in square feet = 6 square feet
Therefore, the area of the advertisement (in square feet) is 6.
