Question

Mike saw two wooden sticks in his garden of different lengths. How many times is the length of the larger stick of the smaller one?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 5

Answer 1

The correct option is C 4

Given,

Length of the small stick = 4 in

Length of the long stick = 16 in

Scale factor =
$\frac{\text{Length of the longer stick}}{\text{Length of the smaller stick}}$

$=\frac{16}{4}$

$=4$

Here, the scaling factor is 4.
