The scale factor is determined by dividing the length of the corresponding sides of the travel version triangle by the original triangle.
For the travel version of the piece, the length of each side is 0.5 inches.
For the original triangle, the length of each side is 3 inches.
Therefore, the scale factor is:
0.5 inches / 3 inches = 1/6
So, the correct answer is A. 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.
