M1: for correct scale factor or correct equation involving \(MN\) or correct expression for \(MN\)
Allow use of 1.66(66....) in place of \(\dfrac{5}{3}\) if rounded or truncated to at least 3 significant figures

Notes
M1: Correct expression for \(PQ\) or \(LQ\) (eg \(9 \times \dfrac{5}{3}\) oe or \(9 \times \dfrac{2}{3}\) oe)
Correct equation involving \(PQ\) or \(LQ\) (eg \(\dfrac{PQ}{9} = \dfrac{5}{3}\) oe or \(\dfrac{LQ}{9} = \dfrac{2}{3}\) oe)
Allow use of 1.66(66....) in place of \(\dfrac{5}{3}\) or 0.666(66...) in place of \(\dfrac{2}{3}\) if rounded or truncated to at least 3 significant figures
