Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor can be found by dividing two corresponding side lengths. For instance, if you have two triangles, divide the new length of the larger or smaller triangle by the same side length of the original.

If the side length of the new was 9 and the old was 3 then the scale factor would be 9/3 = 3.

If it were flipped then the new would be 3 and the old would be 9. So the scale factor would be 3/9 = 1/3.

A particular frozen yogurt has 75 calories in 2 ounces how many calories are in 8 ounces of the yogurt
Sveta_85 [38]
Hello there! If you know basic division, then you know that 8/2 is 4. With 75 calories being in 2 ounces of yogurt, all we have to do is multiply by 4 to get the amount of calories in 8 ounces of yogurt, because 2 * 4 is 8. Plus for this scenario, whatever we do to one part, we must do to the other. Let's solve. 75 * 4 is 300. There. There are 300 calories in 8 ounces of yogurt.
