The scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece is 1/6.
To identify the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece, we can divide the length of the original piece by the length of the travel version piece.
The original triangular piece measures 3 inches on each side, while the travel version measures 0.5 inches on each side. So, we can calculate the scale factor using the following formula:
Scale factor = Length of original piece / Length of travel version piece
Scale factor = 3 inches / 0.5 inches
Scale factor = 6
Therefore, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece is 6.
To find the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece, divide the corresponding side lengths of the original and travel versions.
Original piece side length: 3 inches
Travel version side length: 0.5 inches
Scale factor = Travel version side length / Original piece side length
= 0.5 inches / 3 inches
= 1/6
Therefore, the scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece is 1/6.
