    Given:

    Painting's actual size: 48 in wide and 120 in high

    Paper's actual size: 12 in wide and 24 in tall

    Scale: 1 inch = 4 inches

    48 in : 4 in = 12 inches

    120 in : 4 in = 30 inches

    The scale is not reasonable because the paper size is not sufficient for the painting.

    Using the scale of 1 inch = 4 inches, the paper size needs to be 12 inches wide and 30 inches tall. The actual paper is only 24 inches tall.
