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?

Question

2.5 square centimeters

60 square centimeters

150 square centimeters

24 square centimeters

Answer 1

The original photo's area is 6 cm x 4 cm = 24 square cm.

To resize the photo into a postcard with a length of 15 cm, we need to keep the aspect ratio the same. So, we can calculate the width of the postcard using the proportion:

Width of postcard / Length of postcard = Width of photo / Length of photo

Let the width of the postcard be x cm.

x / 15 = 6 / 4

x = 22.5 cm

Therefore, the area of the postcard will be 22.5 cm x 15 cm = 337.5 square cm.

None of the options provided is correct. The correct answer is 337.5 square centimeters.
