Answer:

Scale factor of 1/2.

Explanation:

Note that the comparison is figure A to figure B'.

The original measurements that are given are the side measurements of 16 & 6. In comparison to the corresponding parts for the other figure, it would be 8 & 3 respectfully.

Find the factor in which they change by multiplying.

16x = 8

6x = 3

Isolate the variable by dividing:

(16x)/16 = (8)/16

x = 8/16 = 1/2

(6x)/6 = (3)/6

x = 3/6 = 1/2

The scale factor is 1/2.
