Step-by-step explanation:

The question here says that a candy company plans to hang posters of a new product in supermarkets. The product is a box of premium chocolates. The art team made a scale drawing of the top of the box using a scale of 3 inches to 1 inch. The length of the scale drawing of the box is 24 inches, and its width is 15 inches. We are now asked to find the actual dimensions of the top of the chocolate box

Since the scale drawing measures 24 inches in length and 15 inches in width

And we need to remember that that the scale drawing to the actual dimensions of the package is 3:1

The scale drawings measure length 24 inches. This means that for every 1 inch of the candy box,3 inches scale drawing is taken.

If the scale drawing is 24,the actual length is

24/3 = 8 inches

Now do same for width which has a scale drawing of 15 inches,and it will have

15/3 = 5 inches

The length and the width of the chocolate box measures 8 inches by 5 inches
