The scale factor is the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides in the two triangles.
In this case, the original triangle has side length of 3 inches and the travel version triangle has a side length of 0.5 inches.
The scale factor is therefore 0.5/3 = 1/6.
Therefore, 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.
