Explanation:

Step1: Identify the values

Scaled image dimension = \(120\) mm, Original dimension = \(30\) mm.

Step2: Apply the scale factor formula

Scale Factor \(=\frac{\text{Scaled Image Dimension}}{\text{Original Dimension}}=\frac{120}{30}\)

Step3: Calculate the result

\(\frac{120}{30} = 4\)

Answer:

\(4\)
