Answer:  A) 16 in by 10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the proportion for 24 ft and then for 15 ft:

[tex]\dfrac{4\ in}{6\ ft}=\dfrac{x}{24\ ft}\\\\\\\dfrac{4\ in\cdot 24\ ft}{6\ ft}=x\\\\\\4\ in\cdot 4=x\\\\\\16\ in=x[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{4\ in}{6\ ft}=\dfrac{y}{15\ ft}\\\\\\\dfrac{4\ in\cdot 15\ ft}{6\ ft}=y\\\\\\2\ in\cdot 5=y\\\\\\10\ in=y[/tex]
