The front of a cereal box shows a picture of the prize inside. It's a temporary tattoo of a snake. The picture on the box shows the tattoo snake 10 centimeters long. If the actual tattoo inside the box is 4 centimeters long, what is the scale factor between the picture and the actual tattoo?

Picture shows the tattoo as 10 cm
Actual tattoo is 4 cm long
so
the scale factor is
$$\frac{10}{4}$$
I think you can now simplify this

Picture is 10 cm long and the actual snake is 4 cm
so the tattoo is scaled by 10/4=2.5 times the actual for the picture
