Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The left side of Figure A is 6 units long

The left side of Figure B is 2 units long

6 * what = 2

Divide each side by 6

what = 2/6

what = 1/3

The scale factor is 1/3

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure A has a base of [tex]6[/tex] units.

Figure B has a base of [tex]2[/tex] units.

So, 6 * [tex]x[/tex] (the scaled factor) = 2 which simplified is [tex]6x=2[/tex].

Now, we divide 6 on both sides giving us [tex]x = \frac{2}{6}[/tex] which can be further simplified into [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
