Question

Manuel has a small poster that he wants to enlarge to a new poster. The smaller poster with its dimensions is shown.

the legth is 18 the wigth is 24

If Manuel doubles the dimensions of the small poster, which describes the area of the new poster?

The area of the new poster is double the area of the small poster.
The area of the new poster is four times the area of the small poster.
The area of the new poster is one-half of the area of the small poster.
The area of the new poster is one-fourth of the area of the small poster.

Answer 1

The answer is the first one.

Explanation:

The other ones do not make any sense, the area of the new poster can not be four times bigger, because it was only doubled. It can't be 1 half, because it got bigger. And same goes for it being 1 fourth.

Hope this helped,

Sincerely, Alyssa
