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 can divide the length of the travel version of the piece by the length of the original piece.

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.

Answer 2

as a fraction please

Answer 3

To express the scale factor as a fraction, we can simplify the decimal value.

Scale factor = 0.1667 = 1667/10000

Therefore, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece is 1667/10000.

Answer 5

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

Scale factor = (0.5 inches) / (3 inches)

Simplifying the fraction, we get:

Scale factor = 1/6

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