3/5 = 0.3 * x
3/5 is 30% of x - This is how they match up from the word problem to a number sentence
So to solve it...
3/5 = 0.3x
x = 3/5 ÷ 0.3 = 2
Divide the larger one by the smaller one. 2.4 divided by 0.3 gives you 8. That means the scale factor is 8, or the larger triangle is 8 times larger than the smaller. We can prove this by multiplying 0.3 by 8 and getting 2.4
