Answer 1

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Photo given in the picture has dimensions as,

Length = 4 in.

Width = 5 in.

This photo is the reduced form of a photo having dimension 16 by 20 inch print.

Since scale factor of an image is given by,

Scale factor = $\frac{\text{Dimension of the image}}{\text{Dimension of the original picture}}$

                    = $\frac{4}{16}$

                    = $\frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, scale factor used to reduce the picture is $\frac{1}{4}$.
