To find the scale factor used to enlarge the mural, you can divide the length of a side of the enlarged mural by the length of the corresponding side of the original mural.
In this case, the original mural has sides that are 5 feet long, and the enlarged mural has sides that are 12 feet long.
Scale Factor = (Length of enlarged mural) / (Length of original mural)
Scale Factor = 12 feet / 5 feet = 2.4
So, Leo's friend used a scale factor of 2.4 to enlarge the mural.
