Elias's teacher has given him a rectangle that is 15 feet by 20 feet. She has asked him to create a new rectangle using a scale factor of 8/3. Elias says that will be a reduction because the scale factor is a fraction. Is he correct? Explain.

    No. he isn't correct because the scale factor is an improper fraction. 2/5 means you have 2 out of 5, but if you have 8 out of 3, that means you have 2 3s and 2 more leftover. it wouldn't be a reduction, it'd be increasing!
