Answer:

2/9 or 9/2

Explanation:

The original figure is 2/9 of the size of the rescaled version, as each measurement is 2/9 of the rescaled version (eg 10/45 = 2/9)

If they want you to tell them how much bigger the rescaled version is, the answer would be 9/2 for the same reason, I'm just not sure which way they want you to go.

Hope this helps! :)
