$$ \Large \rm scale ~factor = \frac {new~ length}{old~ length} $$

OpenStudy (perl):

so you need to identify the 'new length' . hint look at the arrow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the 'new length' 12?

OpenStudy (perl):

yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the 'old length' is 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12/16 = 0.75

OpenStudy (perl):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH I GOT IT RIGHT!!!!
