A board game unes a bangular pece measuring 3 inches on each side. The travel version of the game uses a tangle in a proportional relationship to the anginal mesures 0.5 niches on each side dently the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece (f point)

The scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece (from the original size) can be calculated by dividing the length of the original piece by the length of the travel version piece.

In this case, the length of the original piece is 3 inches, and the length of the travel version piece is 0.5 inches.

Scale factor = Length of original piece / Length of travel version piece
Scale factor = 3 inches / 0.5 inches
Scale factor = 6

Therefore, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece is 6.
