Answer 1

Answer:

$k = 75$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Corresponding sides: 4cm and 3m

Required

Determine the enlargement factor

This is calculated as:

$k = \frac{New}{Old}$

So:

$k = \frac{3m}{4cm}$

Convert to cm

$k = \frac{3*100cm}{4cm}$

$k = \frac{300cm}{4cm}$

$k = \frac{300}{4}$

$k = 75$
