Question

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)

Answer 1

To find the area of the postcard, we need to calculate the width first.

If the original photo measures 6 centimeters by 4 centimeters, we can find the proportion of the width to the length:

6 / 4 = 1.5

So the width of the postcard will be 1.5 times its length:

15 * 1.5 = 22.5 centimeters

The area of the postcard can be calculated by multiplying its length and width:

15 * 22.5 = 337.5 square centimeters

Therefore, the area of the postcard will be 337.5 square centimeters.
