An object whose volume is 125cm^3 was enlarged to an image whose volume is 100cm^3. Find the scale.

Answer 1

The scale factor can be found using the formula:

scale factor = (image size)/(original size)

In this case, the image size is given as 100 cm^3 and the original size is given as 125 cm^3. Therefore:

scale factor = 100/125
scale factor = 0.8

So the object was enlarged by a factor of 0.8 or scaled down by 1.25.
