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. (1 point)
• - 1/6
• 1/6
• 6
• 3.5
To find the scale factor, we divide the length of the travel version of the piece by the length of the original piece.
The length of the travel version of the piece is 0.5 inches.
The length of the original piece is 3 inches.
So, the scale factor is 0.5/3 = 1/6.
The correct answer is 1/6.
