.
Calculate the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides.
As a rule, such simple assignments do not create any difficulties, and the students
of all ages, from 10 till 75, experience great satisfaction,
when they manage to complete such simple tasks on their own.
I hope, your case is not an exception.

The SCALE FACTOR between similar figures is the ratio of the lengths of any corresponding linear measurements in the two figures.
Pick the lengths of any corresponding sides in the given figure and form the ratio.
Note that the question specifies the scale factor from larger triangle to smaller, so make sure you put the two lengths you choose in that correct order.
Expressing the ratio in simplest terms is optional, unless instructions somewhere state that it is required.
