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)
First, we need to determine the width of the postcard in order to maintain the original aspect ratio of the photo.
Original aspect ratio = width/length = 6/4 = 1.5
Desired length = 15 cm
Therefore, the desired width = 15 cm * 1.5 = 22.5 cm
Now, we can calculate the area of the postcard:
Area = length * width = 15 cm * 22.5 cm = 337.5 cm²
Therefore, the area of the postcard will be 337.5 cm².
The options are 60, 24, 150, and 2.5
To find the area of the postcard, we first need to calculate the width of the postcard using the original aspect ratio of the photo.
Original aspect ratio = width/length = 6/4 = 1.5
Desired length = 15 cm
Width of the postcard = 15 cm * 1.5 = 22.5 cm
Now, we can calculate the area of the postcard:
Area = length * width = 15 cm * 22.5 cm = 337.5 cm²
Therefore, the correct answer is 150, which is the closest option.
