Enter your answer as a decimal in the box

Answer 1

0.25

Explanation:

z=\frac{1.5}{6}=0.25

Answer 2

The scale factor is
`0.25`

Explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional , and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

z----> the scale factor

x ----> the corresponding side of the resulting image

y-----> the corresponding side of the first rectangle

`z=(x)/(y)`

we have

`x=1.5\ units`

`x=6\ units`

substitute

`z=(1.5)/(6)=0.25`
