Answers
GPT 3.5
To find the new width of the postcard after resizing the print, we set up a proportion:
6 centimeters is to 4 centimeters as x (new width) is to 15 centimeters
6/4 = x/15
1.5 = x/15
x = 1.5 * 15
x = 22.5 centimeters
So, the new dimensions of the postcard are 15 centimeters by 22.5 centimeters.
To find the area of the postcard, we multiply the length by the width:
Area = 15 cm * 22.5 cm
Area = 337.5 square centimeters
Therefore, the area of the postcard is 337.5 square centimeters.
