Ken is doing a layout for a new book. He has a drawing that is 12 centimeters by 10 centimeters, but the maximum space available for the drawing is 8 centimeters by 6 centimeters. If he wants the drawing to be as large as possible in the book, what scale factor should he use to reduce the original drawing?
