Answer:


\bold{2(4)/(5)} or 2.8

Explanation:

Scale factor is the original value multiplied by a number. So if we are looking for the scale factor, and it is multiplication, we should do the opposite action. The inverse operation for multiplication is division.

Step 1: Divide 7 by 2.5


(7)/(2.8)


7/2.5=\bold{2.8}

Now, we can also confirm if this is correct. Simply multiply the answer to the original image.


2.8*2.5=7

Therefore, the scale factor is 2.8, or
\bold{2(4)/(5)} in fraction form.
