Answer :

In order to find possible dimensions for the scaled rectangle, the proportion between the dimensions of the rectangles must be the same.

So first let's find this proportion for rectangle R:

[tex]\frac{18}{6}=3[/tex]

Now, let's find the proportion of the possible options of rectangle S:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{24}{8}=3 \\ \\ \frac{9}{3}=3 \\ \\ \frac{2}{1}=2 \\ \\ \frac{6}{2}=3 \\ \\ \frac{3}{2}=1.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So the correct options are the first, second and fourth options.
