Question

For a certain font, the scale factor is 1.125 and one of the scale sizes is 1.266. What is the next larger scale size? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box. Round only your final answer to the thousandth.

Answer 1

Scale factor is used as multiplier or divider

If one size is 1.266, the next large size will be 1.125 larger than 1.266

1.266×1.125=1.424

Answer 2

1.424

Explanation:

We have been given that for a certain font, the scale factor is 1.125 and one of the scale sizes is 1.266.

To find the next larger scale size we will multiply the given scale size by the scale factor.

`\text{The next larger scale size}=1.266* 1.125`

`\text{The next larger scale size}=1.42425`

Upon rounding our answer to the nearest thousandth we will get,

`\text{The next larger scale size}\approx 1.424`

Therefore, the next larger scale size will be 1.424.
