Question

Mrs. Williamson is projecting a slide on the wall. The image on the slide is 1.25 inches by 1.5 inches. The image projected on the wall is 20 inches by 24 inches. What is the scale factor of the dilation?

Answer 1

Scale factor is 1:16

Explanation:

1.25 x 16 = 20

1.5 x 16 = 24

The image on the wall is 16 times bigger than the image on the slide,
that is why the ratio is 1:16
