    The answer is 2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since figure KLMN is a scaled version of figure PQRS, their corresponding sides are proportional. Sides KN and MN correspond to sides PS and RS, respectively.

    KN = 6 cm PS = 12 cm

    MN = 14 cm RS = 28 cm

    Notice that the lengths of sides KN and MN can be multiplied by 2 to get the length of sides PS and RS, respectively.

    Therefore, the scale factor of figure KLMN to figure PQRS is 2.
