The scale factor can be found by dividing the length of the enlargement by the length of the original object.
In this case, the length of the enlargement is 8 centimeters and the length of the original object is 3 centimeters.
Scale factor = 8 cm / 3 cm
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
Scale factor = 8/3
So the correct answer is:
2/3
