Answer 1

let's take a peek at the 1st one

if my image gets scaled by a factor of "1" then that means that
for every inch, the "scaled version" will be 1inch
so the scaled version will be exactly like the original

so let's see 0.86

if my original image gets scaled by 0.86 for every inch
I'd be losing 1-0.86 = 0.14 0.14 for every inch on the "scaled version"

so the "scaled version" will be smaller , NOT bigger, so is not 0.86 then
