The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width. In this case, the original photo has an area of 6 cm x 4 cm = 24 square cm.
Since Natalia wants to resize the photo to the size of a postcard with a length of 15 centimeters, the new width would be 15 cm x (4 cm / 6 cm) = 10 centimeters.
The area of the postcard would be 15 cm x 10 cm = 150 square centimeters.
Therefore, the correct response is: 150 square centimeters.
