Answer:     120

Step-by-step explanation:

Next, write ratios to represent the unknown actual length and width of the display to the scale length and width of the display.

LengthWidth=scaleactual=4l=scaleactual=8w

Then, write two proportions by setting the two length ratios equal to one another and the two width ratios equal to one another. The given unit is feet.

LengthWidth=4l=1160=8w=1160

Next, cross multiply each equation.

LLWW=4×160=640 feet=8×160=120 feet

Then, to find the area of the display, multiply length times width.
