12.5 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Brian wants to put this picture in the school newspaper in a space that is 5 inches tall. If he enlarges the picture proportionally so that it is 5 inches tall.

The dimensions of original picture are: height=2 1/2 and length=1 1/4.

Since the picture is enlarged proportionally, so we will use proportions to find the length of picture in the newspaper.

Upon substituting our given values in above equation we will get,

Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 5.

Now let us find area covered by picture in newspaper with length 2.5 inches and height 5 inches.

Therefore, the picture will cover 12.5 square inches in the newspaper.
