Bobby jaws in artwork measuring 2.25“ x 2“. He makes a copy of the artwork enlarging it so its dimensions are now 3.15“ x 2.8“. What scale factor did he use to create the copy of the original artwork, your cop, write your answer as a decimal
To find the scale factor, we can divide the dimensions of the enlarged artwork by the dimensions of the original artwork.
Scale factor = (enlarged artwork dimensions) / (original artwork dimensions)
Scale factor = (3.15" / 2.25") / (2.8" / 2")
Simplifying the expression:
Scale factor = (1.4) / (1.4) = 1
Therefore, the scale factor used by Bobby to create the copy of the original artwork is 1.
