To find the scale factor, we can divide the dimensions of the copy by the dimensions of the original artwork.
The dimensions of the original artwork are 2.25 inches by 2 inches.
The dimensions of the copy are 3.15 inches by 2.8 inches.
To find the scale factor for the width, we divide the width of the copy by the width of the original artwork:
3.15 inches / 2.25 inches = 1.4
To find the scale factor for the height, we divide the height of the copy by the height of the original artwork:
2.8 inches / 2 inches = 1.4
Therefore, the scale factor used to create the copy of the original artwork is 1.4.
