Answer:

3/4

Explanation:

Scale factor is the ratio between two different triangles. They can be scaled if they are similar triangles, which they are (in this case). Since we know that these two triangles are similar, we want to match all the sides up in a way where they all have the same ratio.
NK=3 and AH = 4, so NK/AH = 3/4.
GK=6 and LH = 8, so GK/LH = 6/8 = 3/4.
GN = 15 and LA = 20, so GN/LA = 15/20 = 3/4.
We found the matching ratios, so the answer is 3/4.
