Answer:


(1)/(3)

Explanation:

Figure A has a base of
6 units.

Figure B has a base of
2 units.

So, 6 *
x (the scaled factor) = 2 which simplified is
6x=2.

Now, we divide 6 on both sides giving us
x = (2)/(6) which can be further simplified into
(1)/(3)

Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

The left side of Figure A is 6 units long

The left side of Figure B is 2 units long

6 * what = 2

Divide each side by 6

what = 2/6

what = 1/3

The scale factor is 1/3
