Answer:

[tex]k = 75[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Corresponding sides: 4cm and 3m

Required

Determine the enlargement factor

This is calculated as:

[tex]k = \frac{New}{Old}[/tex]

So:

[tex]k = \frac{3m}{4cm}[/tex]

Convert to cm

[tex]k = \frac{3*100cm}{4cm}[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{300cm}{4cm}[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{300}{4}[/tex]

[tex]k = 75[/tex]
