Question

Which scaling factor would most likely be used for the following scenarlo?

A team of automotive engineers is working on a design for a new catalytic converter, an engine component that
typically measures about 100 cm by 20 cm. They are creating detailed plans of the device, which includes many small
parts.
1:25
25:1
100:1
1:100

Answer 1

The correct option is;

100:1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The dimension of the engine component 100 cm by 20 cm

The size of the parts of the catalytic converter = Small

The nature of the plan of the parts the engineers are creating = Detailed

Therefore, a magnifying scale factor is required and given that the parts will be dimensioned, a scale of 100 units of the plan is equivalent to 1 unit of the actual part will be the most adaptable to dimensional translation.
