Classify each scale factor as a contraction or an expansion. 3/2,1/3,4,2/5,4/3,1/4

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

no

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

im thinking if its greater than one than its a expansion... idk lol

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

You're thinking is exactly right! :D

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

your sure right

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

if it is less than 1, then it is a contraction.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

A "scale factor" changes the scale by multiplication, right?

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

idk... what i said was a guess lol

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Good guess :-) Try googling "scale factor" for more info.
