scale factor
A scale factor of 3 means that each dimension of an object is multiplied by 3, resulting in an increase in size. For example, if a shape has a length of 2 units, after applying a scale factor of 3, the new length would be 6 units. This transformation keeps the object's proportions the same while enlarging it. In terms of area, the scale factor of 3 would increase the area by a factor of (3^2 = 9).

Convert to same units, then can cancel out units: 1 ft = 12 in → 1 in : 4 ft = 1 in : 4 x 12 in = 1 in : 48 in = 1 : 48 So the scale factor is 48.

A scale factor needs two numbers, not just one., And they need to have measurement units - such as inches, millimetres, miles or whatever.
The perimeter will scale by the same factor.
It is the scale factor.
Convert to the same units, drop the units and simplify: 1 yd = 36 in → 7 in : 1 yd = 7 in : 36 yd = 7 : 36
