ANSWER

5/6

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the scale factor from drawing 2 to drawing 1.

The scale factor can be found by dividing the length of the corresponding side of the image by that of the pre-image.

This means that we have to divide the length of side of drawing 1 by drawing 2.

The length of side of drawing 1 is 10 and that of drawing 2 is 12.

Therefore, we have that the scale factor is:


\begin{gathered} (10)/(12) \\ =(5)/(6) \end{gathered}

That is the scale factor.
