Cody and Miko drew separate scale drawings of a step at their school. What is the scale factor from Miko's drawing to Cody's drawing? Use the measurements shown in the figures to find the scale factor.



Answer :

Scale factor: 2

1) To find the scale factor, let's pick the larger one and divide by the lesser one.

So Cody 's drawing ÷ Mikos' drawing:

[tex]1\text{ }\frac{1}{2}\text{ : }\frac{3}{4}\text{ =}2[/tex]

So the scale factor was 2

Cody's drawing is twice the scaled size of Miko's.
