Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

Find two corresponding sides that have lengths.

24 in Figure 1 corresponds to 8 in Figure 2.

Divide the length in Figure 2 by the corresponding length in Figure 1.

scale factor = (length in Figure 2)/(corresponding length in Figure 1)

scale factor = 8/24

scale factor = 1/3
