Answer:

7.9936 Square feet

Explanation:

To get the area of the poster in square feet, it might be important to convert the original dimensions in inches to feet.

1 inch = 0.0833 feet

48 inches = 48 * 0.0833 = 3.9984

24 inches = 24 * 0.0833 = 1.9992

The area of the poster in square feet is thus : 3.9984 * 1.9992 = 7.9936 square feet
