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 ravel version of the piece.

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

Scale factor = Length of travel version / Length of original version

Scale factor = 0.5 inches / 3 inches = 0.1667

Therefore, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece is approximately 0.1667.
That isnt an answer.
I apologize for the confusion. Let's try the calculation again:

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

Scale factor = Length of travel version / Length of original version

Scale factor = 0.5 inches / 3 inches

Scale factor = 1/6

Therefore, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece is 1/6 or approximately 0.1667.
