The scale factor is the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides in the two triangles.

In this case, the original triangle has side length of 3 inches and the travel version triangle has a side length of 0.5 inches.

The scale factor is therefore 0.5/3 = 1/6.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. 1/6.
