To find the scale factor, we need to compare the lengths of the sides in the original object and in the photograph.
The original object has sides measuring 3 centimeters each.
The photograph has sides measuring 8 centimeters each.
To find the scale factor, we divide the length of the side in the photograph by the length of the side in the original object:
Scale factor = 8 cm / 3 cm
Therefore, the correct answer is:
Start Fraction 8 over 3 End Fraction
