Answer:

  • large/small = 4
  • small/large = 1/4

Explanation:

The small square extends from x=1 to x=4, so its side length is 4-1 = 3.

The large square extends from x=4 to x=16, so its side length is 16-4 = 12.

The scale factor is ...

large/small = 12/3 = 4

or

small/large = 3/12 = 1/4

We don't know which way you're scaling, so choose the factor appropriate to your question.
