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]
