\\( \frac { m n } { a b } = \frac { 2 } { 8 } \\)
what is the scale factor of the dilation?
scale factor =

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the fraction

The fraction given is \(\frac{2}{8}\). To simplify it, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor. The GCD of 2 and 8 is 2.

$$ \frac{2\div2}{8\div2}=\frac{1}{4} $$

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{4}\)
