The perimeter of the original figure is 68 feet and the perimeter of the scale drawing is 17 feet. what is the scale factor of the reduction?

1/4 is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

final answer is : )

(n^3 - n)

= n(n-1)(n+1)

since it is divisible by 3 and 2 ,because it is a multiple 3 consecutive number

if, n-1 is odd then n+1 is also odd, then it is a multiple of 9

but if, n-1 is even then n+1 is also even, then it is a multiple of 4

so, largest multiple = max(9*2, 4*3) = max(18, 12) = 18
