To find the scale factor, we can divide the length of one side of the enlarged photograph by the length of one side of the original object:
Scale factor = (length of enlarged side) / (length of original side)
Using the given measurements, the length of the enlarged side is 8 centimeters and the length of the original side is 3 centimeters:
Scale factor = 8 / 3 = 2 2/3
So the scale factor that Leo used to create the photograph is 2 2/3.
