Scale up and down with percents word problems will help your students to understand the concept better. Scale factor is a conversion factor by which the size of a geometrical shape can be changed with respect to its true size. We can calculate the scale factor if the dimensions of the original figure and the changed figures' dimensions are known to us. We use a scale factor to draw reduced or enlarged shapes of any given figure and to find out the missing area, volume, or length of the reduced or enlarged figure. Share this amazing scale up and down with percents word problems with your students to check their knowledge on the same.
