A board game uses a triangular piece measuring 3 inches on each side. The travel version of the game uses a triangle in a proportional relationship to the

Question

original. It measures 0.5 inches on each side. Identify the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the scale factor, we can compare the lengths of corresponding sides of the original triangle and the travel version triangle.

The length of the side of the original triangle is 3 inches, and the length of the corresponding side of the travel version triangle is 0.5 inches.

The scale factor can be found by dividing the length of the corresponding side of the travel version triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the original triangle:

Scale factor = Length of travel version side / Length of original side
= 0.5 inches / 3 inches
= 1/6

Therefore, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece is 1/6.

Answer 2

0.1667 is not an answer. It is 6 because 3 divided by 0.5 is 6.

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. You are correct. To find the scale factor, we divide the length of the corresponding sides of the travel version triangle by the length of the corresponding sides of the original triangle.

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

Scale factor = Length of travel version side / Length of original side
Scale factor = 0.5 inches / 3 inches
Scale factor = 1/6

Therefore, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece is 1/6 or 0.1667. I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Thank you for pointing that out.

Answer 4

Wait no, I was wrong nvm. 0.16667 isn't an answer, but 0.16667 as a fraction (1/6) is correct

Answer 5

Apologies for any confusion caused. You are correct, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the triangular piece is 1/6 or approximately 0.1667. Thank you for pointing out the error in my previous response.
