A board game uses a triangular piece measuring 3 inches on a on each side the travel version of the game uses the a triangle in a proportional
relationship to the original it measures 0.5 inches on each side identify the scale factor used to create the travel version of this piece
To find the scale factor, we can divide the corresponding side lengths of the two triangles.
The original triangle has a side length of 3 inches, while the travel version has a side length of 0.5 inches.
So, the scale factor is 0.5 inches / 3 inches = 1/6.
The scale factor used to create the travel version of the piece is 1/6.
