1.25

5/4

1 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of rectangle A are L=12 and W=8. The dimensions of rectangle B are L=15 and W=10.

We are told rectangle B is a copy of rectangle A, thus we must find the scale factor by dividing both dimensions:

15/12=5/4

10/8 =5/4

Dividing 5/4 we get 1.25.

Converting 5/4 to mixed fraction: 5/4= 1 1/4

There are three valid selections:

1.25

5/4

1 1/4
