Solve the following problem: Natalia prints a photo of a covered bridge. The print measures 6 centimeters by 4 centimeters. She wants to resize the photo into the size of a postcard with a length of 15 centimeters. What will be the area of the postcard?(1 point) Responses 150 square centimeters 150 square centimeters 60 square centimeters 60 square centimeters 24 square centimeters 24 square centimeters 2.5 square centimeters 2.5 square centimeters
To find the area of the postcard, we need to multiply the length and width of the postcard.
The length of the postcard is given as 15 centimeters.
To find the width of the postcard, we need to calculate the ratio of the length to width in the original photo and apply it to the postcard.
The ratio of the length to width in the original photo is:
6 centimeters / 4 centimeters = 1.5
So, the width of the postcard would be:
15 centimeters / 1.5 = 10 centimeters
Now, we can calculate the area of the postcard:
Area = length × width
Area = 15 centimeters × 10 centimeters
Area = 150 square centimeters
Therefore, the area of the postcard is 150 square centimeters.
