Question

The design for a painting of a farm scene is 12"" x 9"". The artist wants to transfer this design to the side of a building. What is the largest possible complete design that can be painted on a 24’ x 16’ wall.

Answer 1

The largest possible complete design that can be painted on the wall is 1

The dimension of the farm scene is given as:

12"" by 9""

The dimension of the wall is given as:

24""by 16""

Divide the dimension of the wall by the corresponding dimension of the farm scene, to get the amount of scene that can fit the wall

So, we have:

$n = \frac{24}{12}$ --- the length

$n =2$

$n = \frac{16}{9}$ --- the width

$n = 1.78$

Remove the decimal (do not approximate)

$n =1$

By comparison, 1 is less than 2.

This means that, the largest possible complete design is 1
