yes it's on a 1.5 scale factorI think. The question you put at the top threw me off at first but the picture makes sense. I'm not entirely sure if this is right but if you adjust the triangle to be the same way as the other one then you will see which sides correspond to each other. Each number can be multiplied by 1.5 to get the number that is on the side of the other triangle that corresponds with itif that makes any sense

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
