Benjamin is planning to make scale drawings of bat wings. He wants all of his drawings to use the same scale. He says he can use the equation d=1.5w to find the length of a scale drawing, d, based on the length of the bat wing, w. What is fhe scale factor of a bat wing length to scale drawing length? Explain.

is the scale factor of a bat wing length to scale drawing length.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale factor is a number which multiplies (scales) , some quantity. In the equation , is the scale factor for . Here, is called as the constant of proportionality of to .

Consider the equation

Here, d denotes the length of a scale drawing and w denotes the length of the bat wing.

So,

is the scale factor of a bat wing length to scale drawing length.
