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
First, we need to determine the width of the postcard in order to calculate the area.
We can set up a proportion to find the width of the postcard:
6 cm (width of photo) / 4 cm (height of photo) = x cm (width of postcard) / 15 cm (height of postcard)
Solving for x:
6 cm * 15 cm / 4 cm = x cm
x = 22.5 cm
Now, we can calculate the area of the postcard:
Area = length * width
Area = 15 cm * 22.5 cm
Area = 337.5 square centimeters
Therefore, the area of the postcard will be 337.5 square centimeters.
