The first step is to convert the rectangle to inches.
Since the rectangle is 4 ft by 6 ft, the dimensions of the rectangle will be 48 inch by 72 inch.
We have been asked to find out how many square of side 0.5 inch are needed to cover this rectangle.
The area covered by the rectangle is 48*72 inch and we will be needing x squares to cover this rectangle.
\(0.5*0.5*x = 48*72\)
\(x = \frac{48}{0.5} * \frac{72}{0.5} = 96 * 144 = 13824\)(Option D)

Hi Bunuel,
As per my understanding, length is always greater than width.
Is it OK to say length is 4ft and width is 6ft? This implies that width is greater than length.
