Question

The scale factor from S to M is 3/2 What is the scale factor from M to S

Answer 1

we conclude that if the scale factor from S to M is 3/2, then the scale factor from M to S is 2/4.

What is the scale factor from M to S?

Suppose we have a figure S. If we apply a stretch of scale factor K to our figure S, we can say that all the dimensions of figure S are multiplied by K.

So, if S represents the length of a bar, then after the stretch we will get a bar of length M, such that:

M = S*K

If that scale factor is 3/2, then we have the case of the problem:

M = (3/2)*S

We can isolate S in the above relation:

(2/3)*M = S

Now we have an equation (similar to the first one) that says that the scale factor from M to S is 2/3.

Then we conclude that if the scale factor from S to M is 3/2, then the scale factor from M to S is 2/4.
