The original photo size is 6cm x 4cm = 24 square centimeters.
The length of the postcard is 15cm, so we need to find the corresponding width that maintains the same aspect ratio as the original photo.
Width of postcard = (24 square cm) / (15cm) = 1.6 cm
Area of postcard = 15 cm x 1.6 cm = 24 square cm
Therefore, the area of the postcard will be 24 square centimeters.
