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
3.5
1/6
6
To find the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece, we divide the length of the travel version by the length of the original version:
Scale factor = (length of travel version) / (length of original version) = 0.5 inches / 3 inches = 1/6
Therefore, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece is 1/6.
