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

Answer:

The first answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Manuel doubles the size of the poster, so the area is doubled!

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is the first one.

Step-by-step 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
