Verified Answer :

7.5/3=2.5 is the correct answer

Answer:

\(2.5\)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale factor is equal to the length side of the resulting image divided by the length side of the original image

so

\(scale\ factor=\frac{7.5}{3}=2.5\)

\(2.5 > 1\) -----> the scale factor is greater than \(1\) (because is an enlargement)
