Can someone help me with this problem? It cannot be a mixed fraction or a decimal

Answer 1

scale factor =
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

the scale factor is the ratio of corresponding sides, copy to original.

scale factor =
`((19)/(2) )/(19)` =
`(19)/(2)` ×
`(1)/(19)` ( cancel 19 on numerator/denominator )

scale factor =
`(1)/(2)`
