I attached a diagram that will aid the understanding of the question.
Firstly, I would love to review what a scale factor is before going into the question.
If you have two shapes that are similar, that is they have corresponding angles, then the scale factor of one to the other is simply the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in the two similar geometric figures.
Looking at these figures in the question, we see that R is an enlargement of the other rectangles while Q is an enlargement of P and S. With this information we can answer the questions:
1. From P to Q, the scale factor greater than one because Q is bigger than P.
2. From P to R, the scale factor is greater than one for the same reason.
3. From Q to S, the scale factor is less than one because S is smaller than Q.
4. From Q to R, the scale factor is greater than one because R is bigger than Q.
5. From S to P, the scale factor is equal to one because they are equal.
6. From R to P, the scale factor is less than one because p is smaller than R.
7. From P to S, the scale factor is equal to one because they are equal.
