Answer:
(a) 3 in
(b) Yes, her model drawing is 3 in by 5 in -- smaller than the 5 in by 7 in paper
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The proportion can be written ...
(model length)/(6 ft) = (1 in)/(2 ft)
Multiplying by 6 ft, we have ...
(model length) = (1 in)(6/2) = 3 in
Kelly's model is 3 inches long.

b) The model width is described as 5 inches. Both the 3-inch length and the 5-inch width are less than the 8.5 inch and 7 inch dimensions of the paper Kelly is using. She can easily draw her model on that size paper.
