All I know is that you have 2.5 more feet and 12 feet, I don't really know what you need to do.

So Monday-Friday you already painted 12 feet. Each day that they painted, they painted 2.5 feet more than the day before.

That possibly means that:
Monday: 2.5 Feet
Tuesday: 5 feet
Wednesday: 7.5 Feet
Thursday: 10 Feet
Friday: 12.5 Feet
I don't know what it means by mural yet.
Monday: 2.5 Feet
Tuesday: 5 feet
Wednesday: 7.5 Feet
Thursday: 10 Feet
Friday: 12.5 Feet
I don't know what it means by mural yet.

Oh wait, mural is from the thing that the person is painting xD

To get 12.5, you just have to keep on adding and adding 2.5 to the day before, and the reason that you have to keep adding 2.5 is that the question says that each day, they painted 2 1/2 (which is 2.5) more feet than the day before.

I know how to do this one
2 1/2 x 12 = 30
There are 5 days in Monday - Friday
30 + 5 = 35
35 days
2 1/2 x 12 = 30
There are 5 days in Monday - Friday
30 + 5 = 35
35 days

Also
2.5 * 12 = 30
30 + 5 = 35
35 feet
This is a fifth grade version of it
