The area of the small poster is 160 inches square

<h3>How to determine the area</h3>

From the information given, we have the poster to take the form of a rectangle

The formula for area of a rectangle is;

Area = length × width

For the smaller poster created using a scale of factor 2/3

Length = 2/ 3 × 24

Length = 16 inches

Width = 2/ 3 × 15

Width = 10 inches

Substitute into the formula

Area = 16 × 10

Area = 160 inches square

Thus, the area of the small poster is 160 inches square
