Beth is designing a business card. she makes a scale drawing of her old business card by using the scale factor 5/4. her scale drawing is 2 1/2in by 5in rectangle.
the print shop says the scale drawing is a reduction of the original card because the original card must be 3 1/8in by 6 1/4in. which explains the print shop’s error?
a. the scale factor is greater than 1 so the scale drawing is an enlargement, and the original card is 2in by 4in
b. the scale factor is greater than 1 so the scale drawing is an enlargement, and the original card is 3 3/4in by 6 1/4in
c. the scale factor is a fraction so the scale drawing is an reduction, and the original card is 2in by 4in
d. the scale factor is a fraction so the scale drawing is an reduction, and the original card is 3 3/4in by 6 1/4in
