You did not attach any
picture to solve this problem. We cannot calculate for the value W’X’ without
the correct illustrations. However, I think I found the correct one (see
attached), please attach it next time.
So the first thing we have to
do is to calculate for the dilation factor. Taking point G as the reference
point, we can see that the distance of point G from rectangle W’X’Y’Z’ is 1.5
while the distance from rectangle WXYZ is (1.5 + 7.5), therefore the dilation factor
to use is:
dilation factor = 1.5 / (1.5
+ 7.5) = 1.5 / 9 = 1/6
 
Since WX has an initial
measure of 3 units, therefore the measure of W’X’ is:
W’X’ = 3 units * (1/6) = 0.5
units

1-1/6*3/2
multiply the two fractions 
1/6*3/2
Cross out 3 and 6, divide by 3. 
1/2 * 1/2
multiply the numerators together 
1*1=1
multiply the denominators together 
2*2=4
1-1/4
pretend that 1 has a denominator which is 1
1/1-1/4
find the common denominator for 1/1 which is 4
multiply by 4 for 1/1
1*4/1*4=4/4
4/4-1/4
Answer: 
3/4
 
        
             
        
        
        
I think this is it,please try and looking it up also for a better explanation
 
        
        
        
Is there a worksheet that goes with it? So I can understand better
