Answer:
12 inches by 12 inches = 15 dollars
48 inches by 48 inches = 80 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
12 inches = 1 ft
so 12 inch by 12 inches is 1 ft * 1 ft
1 ft* 1 ft
1 ft^2
This is smaller than 3 ft^2 so they will get charged for 3 ft^2
3 ft^2 = 3 ft^2 * $5 / ft^2 = 15 dollars
48 inches = 48/12 = 4 ft
4ft * 4 ft = 16 ft^2
16 ft^2 = 16 ft^2 * $5 / ft^2 = 80 dollars
