Answer:

A scale factor of 4in to 5in should be used

Explanation:

Given

$Original\ Measurement = 4.5\ in$

$Scale\ Measurement = 3.6\ in$

Required

Determine the scale to use

The scale to use can be represented as:

$Scale = Scale\ Measurement : Original\ Measurement$

This gives:

$Scale = 3.6\ in : 4.5\ in$

Divide by 0.9

$Scale = (3.6)/(0.9)\ in : (4.5)/(0..9)\ in$

Scale = (3.6)/(0.9) : (4.5)/(0.9)

Scale = 4 : 5
