Luanne made a photocopy of a drawing of a rectangle. The original drawing was 4.5 inches wide and 6 inches long. The copy was 6.75 inches wide and 9 inches long.

What was the scale factor for Luanne's copy?

Asked by chloemisfit

Answer (2)

The scale factor is: 6 , 75/4 , 5 = 9/6 = 1 , 5
So you divide the corresponding lengths and the ratio you get is the scale factor. Hope it helps!

The scale factor of Luanne's photocopy is 1.5, indicating that its dimensions are 1.5 times larger than those of the original drawing. This is calculated by dividing the width and length of the photocopy by their corresponding dimensions in the original. Both comparisons result in the same scale factor of 1.5.
