Answer:
The scale factor is 18 to 1 for the painting
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we want to get the scale factor of the original to what is reproduced
Let us have same units first
Mathematically;
1 foot = 12 inches
3 feet = 36 inches
2 feet = 24 inches
So 36 to 2 and 24 to 1 1/3
That will be ratio 36/2 = 18 to 1
same as 25 divided by 1 1/3 = 18 to 1
If the width is 15, and the scale factor from width to length is 3:2, then you will have to divide 15 by 3 to get your original width.
15/3 = 5.
5 is your original width.
