i need help understanding how to square factor, is there a formula or something?

OpenStudy (errinss):

OpenStudy (errinss):

i might have worded my question wrong lol

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yeah I don't think square factor is a thing :P What is the scale factor from 6, to 8? ie what number do you multiply by 6, to get 8?

OpenStudy (dustin_whitelock):

yeah, maybe that's the question.

OpenStudy (errinss):

lol

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

If I needed to scale up 5 to get 12, I'd multiply 5 by 2.4. Why? Because 12/5 = 2.4.

OpenStudy (errinss):

6*1.3=8 but the 1.3 the 3 is repeating

OpenStudy (dustin_whitelock):

That doesn't matter, multiply that to 9 to get your answer

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Good job. But i'd either use 1.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333 Or better yet use 4/3.

OpenStudy (errinss):

ew fraction blugh

OpenStudy (errinss):

multiply 1.3 by 4 then divide by 9?

OpenStudy (dustin_whitelock):

divide it by 3 and then multiply it with 4.

OpenStudy (errinss):

o my god make up your mind what do i do im so confused now

OpenStudy (dustin_whitelock):

It was typo and I hit the post button, sorry

OpenStudy (errinss):

i divide by 3 then multiply by 4?

OpenStudy (dustin_whitelock):

yes

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

@errinss what was your scale factor? 4/3 right? So you multiply that by any side on the small shape, to get the big one.

OpenStudy (dustin_whitelock):

when you multiply a fraction to any number, multiply the numerator with it and divide the answer by the denominator.

OpenStudy (errinss):

i got 12 the answers 12, right?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

(4/3)*9 = 12

OpenStudy (dustin_whitelock):

yes, that's correct
