Just divide to find the scale factor.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The scale factor is the number you multiply the lengths of the left figure to get lengths in the right figure. To find it, divide 15 by 6.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Since the figure becomes bigger, divide the bigger number by the smaller number, what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.5

OpenStudy (igreen):

Correct, that's our answer.
