Answer:

Reduction: new dimensios are 1.5ft x 2.5ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he is using a scale factor of 1/2, we merely multiply everything by 1/2

3 ft * 1/2 = 1.5 ft

5 ft * 1/2 = 2.5 ft

It is obviously a reduction first since the scale factor is less than one, but you can also see that the dimensions decreased.

Answer:

The new dimensions are 1.5 ft wide and 2.5 ft long. The picture would be a reduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the scale factor is less than 1 we know that the dimensions are smaller than the original. So we multiply 3 and 5 by 0.5. We get the new dimensions of 1.5ft wide by 2.5 ft long. Knowing this information we can conclude that the new picture is a reduction.
