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. (1 point)

Question

-1/6

1/6

3.5

6

Answer 1

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

Scale factor = travel version length / original version length

The travel version measures 0.5 inches, and the original version measures 3 inches.

Scale factor = 0.5 / 3 = 1/6

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