A local food organization puts out a healthy foods poster. The poster is in the shape of a rectangle, and its dimensions are given in the table. Alfredo wants to make a smaller version of the poster to hang up in the community center. He makes a scale drawing of the poster with the length of the top edge given in the table. What is the area of Alfredo’s scale drawing?
1. 96
2. 192
3. 12
4. 1/3

To find the area of Alfredo's scale drawing, we need to calculate the scale factor first.
Scale factor = Length of top edge of original poster / Length of top edge of scale drawing
Scale factor = 24 / 6 = 4
Now, since the area is proportional to the square of the scale factor, we can find the area of Alfredo's scale drawing by squaring the scale factor and multiplying by the area of the original poster.
Area of Alfredo's scale drawing = (Scale factor)^2 * Area of original poster
Area of Alfredo's scale drawing = 4^2 * 48 = 16 * 48 = 768
Therefore, the area of Alfredo's scale drawing is 768, which is not one of the answer choices provided.
