Answer 1

1/3

Explanation:

To find the scale factor, divide a dimension in the new figure by the corresponding dimension in the original figure.

Figure B is a scaled copy of Figure A, so Figure A is the original figure, and Figure B is the new figure.

The side measuring 5 in Figure B corresponds to the side measuring 15 in Figure A.

scale factor = (length in new figure)/(length in original figure)

scale factor = 5/15 = 1/3

Answer 2

`(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

1/3 is the scale factor.

`33 * (1)/(3) = 11`

`15 * (1)/(3) = 5`
