The rectangle on the right is a scaled copy of the rectangle on the left. Identify the scale factor. Express your answer as a whole number or fraction in simplest form.

Answer:
scale factor is 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
to find scale factor, new image divided by original image.
Make sure you rotate the image on the right so it matches the image on the left. 3 corresponds to 9/2 and 5 corresponds to 15/2.
[tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{3}{1} \\[/tex]
[tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{9}{6}[/tex]
reduce
[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
