Scale factor |

From Riley:
I have a math problem, and a big test coming up on Friday or Thursday (my teacher hasn't decided yet.) I need help understanding how
I would do this problem. Here it is: they wanted me to find the perimeter and area of a rectangle when they only give me the scale factor. I've
delt with scale factors before, but this is quite confusing. I have done the scale factor way by having a rectangle that maybe has a width of 10 and a
height of 20, and I needed to find what the scale factor would be for a rectangle with the width of 5 and a height of 10. I know that they scale factor
would be 2, right? But this just gives me the scale factor, and I have to FIND the perimeter and area. Hopefully you can get back to me tonight.

From Maggie:
I have a BIG math test coming up, and it's about scale factors and ratios, but i don't understand them at all. How can you tell the difference between scale factors and ratios? and How are they used in the everyday world?
