Answer:
45 ft
² will be blue

Explanation:
1- getting the area of the wall:
area of the rectangle can be calculated as follows:
area = length width

we are given that:
length = 
\(16 \frac{1}{5}\) ft
width = 
\(8 \frac{1}{3}\) ft

Now, substituting in the above rule, we can get the area as follows:
area = 
\(16 \frac{1}{5}\) 
 \(8 \frac{1}{3}\) = 135 ft²

2- getting the area that would be pained blue:
We are given that 
\(\frac{1}{3}\) of the area of the room would be painted blue, this means that:

area of blue = 
\(\frac{1}{3}\)  area of room

area of blue = 
\(\frac{1}{3}\)  135

area of room = 45 ft²
