Answer 1

The length of the fireplace in inches is 45 inches.

This can be calculated by multiplying the length of the fireplace in squares (5 squares) by the scale given in the problem (one-fourth inch equals 18 inches).

5 squares x 1/4 inch = 5/4 inches
5/4 inches x 18 inches = 45 inches

Therefore, the length of the fireplace in inches is 45 inches.
