The Unit Rate as the Scale Factor - 7.1 - Lesson 17

Author: Todd Parks

The What and How

A scale factor is a number which scales, or multiplies, some quantity.

In the equation y = Cx, C is the scale factor for x. C is also the coefficient of x, and may be called the constant of proportionality of y to x.

For example, doubling distances corresponds to a scale factor of 2 for distance, while cutting a cake in half results in pieces with a scale factor of ½.
