12/60 students chose science fiction
Approximately x/150 students prefer sf
60x = 1800
x = 30
30/150 students are assumed to prefer sf
30/150 = x/100
150x = 3000
x = 20
20/100 students are likely to prefer sf
Mr. Rodriguez made a reasonable estimate for the approximate percentage of students that prefer science fiction, because if 12/60 is equivalent to 30/150 which refers to the number of students who can be assumed to prefer science Fiction out of the whole school. Considering we need to identify what 30/150 as a percentage is, we can reduce it down to 1/5 to make I easier, then divide 1 by 5 to get .2
.2 as a percentage is 20%, so his inference was indeed reasonable.

The two figures are therefore similar.
The corresponding sides are in the same proportion. That constant value of the proportion is called scale factor.
It is given by:
Figure B is the image of A
Therefore the scale factor is 2.5
