Answer:
A scale factor of 4in to 5in should be used
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Original\ Measurement = 4.5\ in[/tex]
[tex]Scale\ Measurement = 3.6\ in[/tex]
Required
Determine the scale to use
The scale to use can be represented as:
[tex]Scale = Scale\ Measurement : Original\ Measurement[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]Scale = 3.6\ in : 4.5\ in[/tex]
Divide by 0.9
[tex]Scale = \frac{3.6}{0.9}\ in : \frac{4.5}{0..9}\ in[/tex]
[tex]Scale = \frac{3.6}{0.9} : \frac{4.5}{0.9}[/tex]
[tex]Scale = 4 : 5[/tex]
