The width of a picture is 20 cm. Using a color copier, you reduce the width of the picture to 5 cm. What is the scale factor of the dilation?
A. 5
B. 1/5
C. 4
D. 1/4

Respuesta :

the answer is d (1/4)


because the original width of the picture is 20, then you reduce the width to 5.

so the scale factor of the expansion is 5/20 = 1/4

so therefore the answer is d.

i hope this helped u and good luck!

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given- Width of the picture=20 cm

picture width reduces to 5 cm

scale factor =[tex]\frac{5}{20}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Scale factor of dilation=[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
