A board game uses a triangular piece measuring 3 inches on each side. The travel version of the game uses a triangle in a proportional relationship to the original. It measures 0.5 inches on each side. Identify the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece
To find the scale factor, we divide the length of the travel version by the length of the original version.
Scale factor = 0.5 inches / 3 inches = 1/6
Therefore, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece is 1/6.
