Question

The length of an original drawing is 6 inches and the scaled drawing is 9 inches. What is the scale factor as a percent?

Answer 1

2/2 I'm not sure for that but its base on answer key

Answer 2

`66 (2)/(3) \%`

Explanation:

`scale \: factor = (scaled \: drawing)/(original \: drawing)`

`∴scale \: factor = (6)/(9)`

Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3:

`scale \: factor = (2)/(3)`

As a percentage, scale factor

`= (2)/(3) * 100\%`

`= 66 (2)/(3) \%`
