A package designer created a package with a height of 16 inches and a base that is 8 in. by 6 in. This design was too small and so it was redesigned. The package now has a helght of 32 in. and a base that is 12 in. by 12 in. What scale factor was used for the dimensional change that is not proportional to the others?

Answer:

3/2

Explanation:

You divide the larger measurement by the smaller measurement for each side of the package

For height: 32/16=2

Base 1st measurement: 12/8=3/2

Base 2nd measurement: 12/6=2
