Respuesta :

7.5/3=2.5 is the correct answer

Answer:

[tex]2.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale factor is equal to the length side of the resulting image divided by the length side of the original image

so

[tex]scale\ factor=\frac{7.5}{3}=2.5[/tex]

[tex]2.5 > 1[/tex] -----> the scale factor is greater than [tex]1[/tex] (because is an enlargement)
