Solution

- The shirt shrank a little. This implies that when you take the ratio of the dimensions of the shrunk shirt, and that of the original shirt.

- This would mean that the scale factor (the result from the above ratio), would be less than 1. But it would not be that much less than 1.

- Thus, the possible scale factor is 0.9
