Bobby jaws in artwork measuring 2.25“ x 2“. He makes a copy of the artwork enlarging it so its dimensions are now 3.15“ x 2.8“. What scale factor did he use to create the copy of the original artwork, your cop, write your answer as a decimal

Answer 1

To find the scale factor, we can divide the dimensions of the enlarged artwork by the dimensions of the original artwork.

Scale factor = (enlarged artwork dimensions) / (original artwork dimensions)

Scale factor = (3.15" / 2.25") / (2.8" / 2")

Simplifying the expression:

Scale factor = (1.4) / (1.4) = 1

Therefore, the scale factor used by Bobby to create the copy of the original artwork is 1.
