To find the scale factor, we need to divide the corresponding dimensions of the two screens.

For the width, the scale factor is 24 inches / 16 inches = 1.5
For the height, the scale factor is 13.5 inches / 9 inches = 1.5

Therefore, the scale factor used to create the second television screen is 1.5.
