Before we solve, let's define what a scale factor is. A scale factor is a certain number that can be multiplied or divided by to get a smaller or bigger image that's similar to the current image.
We have 48 by 36 as our original.
It has been reduced to an 8 by 6.
This means we must divide.
Before we get into any complicated ideas, if any, let's try a simple trick.
Divide 48 by 8 and 36 by 6. This should give us a scale factor if they give us the same quotients.
48 / 8 = 6
36 / 6 = 6
It turns out our scale factor is 1/6 (the same as dividing by 6).
The answer cannot be 1/8 because 36 / 8 doesn't give us 8 as a quotient.
The answer also cannot be 6 because we'd have to mutliply our current sides by 6 to get the new image, which it was the opposite.
By elimination and work shown, A.) 1/6 is the correct answer.
I hope this helps!

Answer:</h3>
414.48 square feet is needed to make 3 dozen of the covers.
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3><h3>Step 1: Find the circumference, perimeter, of the circle.</h3>
To find the circumference, you multiply the 4 by π, and π is 3.14, and you get 12.56.
<h3>Step 2: Find the area of the side, not including the circle.</h3>
The 12.56 is literally the length of the side. The width is the height of the cover which is 10 inches. 12.56 multiplied by 10 is 125.6 square inches.
Step 3: Add them up.
125.6 + 12.56 is 138.16
<h3>Step 4: Multiply 138.16 by three dozen (36 [a dozen is 12]).</h3>
138.16 multiplied by 36 is 4973.76 square inches.
<h3>Step 5: Convert 4973.76 square <u>inches</u> to square <u>feet</u>.</h3>
12 inches is 1 foot so we divide 4973.76 by 12. You get 414.48 square feet.
