For the scale factor, use the dimensions from similar sides:

Using 18 from the original image you would use 6 from the scaled image.

18 /6 = 3

This means the scaled image is 3 times smaller than the original. Because the scaled image is smaller divide 1 by the scale factor to get 1/3.

Q2:

The scale factor is 1 inch = 12 miles.

Multiply the total inches by 12:

6.5 x 12 = 78 miles.
