Answer:

1
(2)/(3)

Explanation:

The area of Triangle A times the scale factor squared equals the area of Triangle B.

Let x = the scale factor

108
x^(2) = 300 Divide both sides by 108


x^(2) =
(300)/(108)


\sqrt{x^(2) } =
\sqrt{(300)/(108) }

x = 1.66666666667 I know this is 1 2/3

x = 1
(2)/(3)
