How can you find the scale factor from a larger figure to the smaller figure using the scale factor from the smaller to larger figure?

Take the 'reciprocal' of the given scale factor to go the other way. The 'reciprocal' of a number is 1/(the number). 3 ==> 1/3 5 ==> 1/5 1/7 ==> 7 2/3 ==> 3/2 etc.


A transformation that proportionally reduces or enlarges a figure?

Scaling will proportionally reduce or enlarge a figure. The amount of scaling is given by the scale factor (greater than zero) If the scale factor is less than 1, the figure is reduced and it is sometimes called a contraction If the scale factor is greater than 1, the figure is enlarged, and it is called a dilation or enlargement. If a centre of enlargement is used, the distance of every point from the centre is multiplied by the scale factor. The scale factor can be negative in which case the distance to the new point is measured on the opposite side of the centre to the original point.

How do you figure out the IQR in maths?

You arrange the data set in ascending order. You then find the observation such that a quarter of the observations are smaller than it and three quarters are bigger. That value is the lower quartile. Next find the observation such that three quarters of the observations are smaller than it and a quarter are bigger. That value is the upper quartile. Upper quartile minus lower quartile = IQR.
