Hello,
To find the scale factor, we have to look at what's going on in the problem.
In point A, we are converting from (5, 3) to (7.5, 4.5).
We can write and solve equation to find the change (scale factor)
5x = 7.5 and 3x = 4.5
If you solve either equation, you will find the scale factor is 1.5.
Good luck,
MrEQ
Answer:
2/5 of an inch per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
You can set up the rate as 
. From here to find the amount of rain per minute, just multiply the numerator and denominator by 6/5 (The reciprocal of 5/6, so you can have one minute and see how much rains fills up in that time.)
You end with 2/5 of and inch per minute
