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) Responses 2.5 square centimeters 2.5 square centimeters 24 square centimeters 24 square centimeters 60 square centimeters 60 square centimeters 150 square centimeters
To resize the photo, we need to find the scale factor by dividing the desired length of the postcard by the current length of the photo: 15 cm / 6 cm = 2.5
Next, we need to apply this scale factor to both the length and width of the photo to find the dimensions of the postcard:
Length of postcard: 6 cm * 2.5 = 15 cm
Width of postcard: 4 cm * 2.5 = 10 cm
Therefore, the area of the postcard is the product of its length and width: 15 cm * 10 cm = 150 square centimeters.
So the correct answer is 150 square centimeters.
