To find the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece, we can divide the length of the travel version by the length of the original piece.
The length of the travel version is 0.5 inches, and the length of the original piece is 3 inches.
To find the scale factor, we divide 0.5 by 3:
Scale factor = 0.5/3 = 1/6
Therefore, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece is 1/6.
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 original. It measures 0.5 inches on each side. Identify the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece.
