Benjamin is planning to make scale drawings of bat wings. He wants all of his drawings to use the same scale. He says he can use the equation d=1.5w to find the length of a scale drawing, d, based on the length of the bat wing, w. What is fhe scale factor of a bat wing length to scale drawing length? Explain.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]1.5[/tex] is the scale factor of a bat wing length to scale drawing length.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale factor is a number which multiplies (scales) , some quantity. In the equation [tex]y=kx[/tex], [tex]k[/tex] is the scale factor for [tex]x[/tex]. Here, [tex]k[/tex] is called as the constant of proportionality of [tex]y[/tex] to [tex]x[/tex].

Consider the equation [tex]d=1.5w[/tex]

Here, d denotes the length of a scale drawing and w denotes the length of the bat wing.

So,

[tex]1.5[/tex] is the scale factor of a bat wing length to scale drawing length.
