The scale factor is approximately 0.24.

Solución

We are given that the original width of the crest is \(6.2\) inches and the desired width is \(1.5\) inches. The scale factor \(S\) is found by dividing the new width by the original width: \[ S = \frac{1.5}{6.2} \] Calculating the division: \[ S \approx 0.2419 \] Thus, the scale factor is approximately \(0.24\) (or \(24\%\) when expressed as a percentage).

To determine the scale factor, you can set up a ratio between the original width of the family crest and the desired width for the copy. The original width is 6.2 inches, and the desired width is 1.5 inches. The scale factor is calculated by dividing the desired width by the original width: Scale Factor = Desired Width / Original Width = 1.5 inches / 6.2 inches ≈ 0.241. This means you should set your copy machine to about 24.1% of the original size to achieve the correct dimensions! Make sure to double-check the settings on your copy machine, as some devices might round the percentage or require adjustments. Also, remember that when resizing images, the aspect ratio should remain the same to ensure your picture does not get distorted. Happy copying!
