The scale factor is the number u multiply by the first image to get to the second image.
so 3 times what = 4
3x = 4
x = 4/3 (or 1 1/3) <== this is ur scale factor

Answer:
20 batches
Step-by-step explanation:
Cups of sugar in a bag = 15
Cups of sugar per batch of cookie = 3/4 cup
Cups of sugar per batch of cookie : batch of cookies = 3/4 : 1
what's the greatest number of batches of cookies that can be made with the bag of sugar
Let
x = batches of cookies made with a bag of sugar
Cups of sugar per batch of cookie : batch of cookies = 15 : x
Equate the ratios
3/4 : 1 = 15 : x
3/4 ÷ 1 = 15/x
3/4 × 1/1 = 15/x
3/4 = 15/x
Cross product
3 * x = 4 * 15
3x = 60
x = 60/3
x = 20
x = batches of cookies made with a bag of sugar = 20 batches
