Answer: 5x Scale factor

When we say that the scale factor from a 4x6 rectangle to a 20x30 rectangle is 5, it means that the larger rectangle is 5 times bigger than the smaller rectangle in terms of both length and width.

Compare the dimensions of the two rectangles.

We can express this relationship as follows:

20/4 = 5

30/6 = 5

These two equations show that both the length and width of the larger rectangle are 5 times greater than the length and width of the smaller rectangle, respectively. So, we can say that the scale factor from the smaller rectangle to the larger rectangle is 5.

The scale factor is 5
I knew that the scale factor was 5 because 4 x 5 = 20 and 6 x 5 = 30
