8 k = 4
3
k = 12
6 k = 3
4
2.
Find the scale factor (k) in simplest form.
a) b)
c) d)
k = 6
15 k = 20
6
k = 5
2 k = 2
5

Answer 1

I'll simplify each scale factor.

1.
a) k = 6/8 = 3/4
b) k = 4/3 (already simplest)
c) k = 12/6 = 2
d) k = 3/4 (already simplest)

2.
a) k = 6/15 = 2/5
b) k = 20/6 = 10/3
c) k = 5/2 (already simplest)
d) k = 2/5 (already simplest)
