Question

Jean-Marc used a scale factor of 5 to make this scale drawing of a moth.

In the drawing, the wingspan of the moth measures 3 centimeters. What was the actual wingspan, in millimeters, of the moth Jean-Marc observed?

Answer 1

if it was scaled up then the original moth was 6 millimeters being that 3 centimeters equals 30 millimeters so 30 divided by a scale factor of 5 is 6, but it was scaled down then do it reverse but it should be 6.
