The scale factor in the question given above is: 2 See the explanation below.

<h3>What is a scale factor?</h3>

In math, the scale factor is the extent or ratio by which a geometrical shape is enlarged or reduced.

<h3>What is the explanation for the above answer?</h3>

We know that:

The distance from point Q to point A is 1.25
The distance from point A to point A' is 1.25

Given the above, the distance from point Q to point A' is 2.50. This is double the distance from point Q to point A.

The scale factor is 2.

1.25 + 1.25 = 2.50

2.50 / 1.25 = 2

Answer:

$Apple\ muffin\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Bran\ muffin\\10\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 4\\15\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 6\\20\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 8\\35\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 14$

Step-by-step explanation:

$For\ 5\ apple\ muffins, bran\ muffin=2\\\\Ratio\ of\ bran\ muffin\ to\ apple\ muffin=\frac{number\ of\ bran\ muffin}{number\ of\ apple\ muffin}\\\\Ratio\ of\ bran\ muffin\ to\ apple\ muffin=\frac{2}{5}\\\\Bran\ muffin=\frac{2}{5}\times apple\ muffin\\\\When\ apple\ muffin=10\\\\Bran\ muffin=\frac{2}{5}\times 10=4\\\\When\ apple\ muffin=15\\\\Bran\ muffin=\frac{2}{5}\times 15=6\\\\When\ apple\ muffin=20\\\\Bran\ muffin=\frac{2}{5}\times 20=8$
