The real answer is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Fairly simple. You know the length and the area, but you don't know the width. So your equation looks like this: 30 x ? = 180. But to figure out the width, you change the position of the numbers in the equation like this:

180 ÷ 30 = ?. Then you solve. 180 ÷ 30 = 6. If you want to double check your answer, you can plug in your answer to your original equation, 30 x 6 = 180.

Hope this helps!

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
