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

Answer 1

To find the scale factor, we divide the length of the travel version by the length of the original version.

Scale factor = 0.5 inches / 3 inches = 1/6

Therefore, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece is 1/6.
