English term or phrase: scale
Hola. En el siguiente contexto de matemáticas, se dice ¿escalar? En algunas partes puedo usar poner a escala, pero en algunas partes no queda bien, necesito una sola palabra.

Por ejemplo:
2 x 100/100 would be equal to 2 meters because it’s being scaled by 1.
2 x 100/100 sería igual a 2 metros porque está siendo "escalado" por 1.

La RAE no contiene la definición matemática de "escalar", por lo que no sé si este uso sea adecuado.
Muchas gracias!

Más contexto:
Let’s compare products to the 2 meters in each expression.
Let’s notice what happens to 2 meters when we multiply, or scale, 2 meters by the other factors.
Read the scaling factors out loud in the order they are written.

Explanation:

2 x 100/100 sería igual a 2 metros porque está siendo multiplicado por 1.

Como está claramente explicado abajo, 'multiply' en este caso es lo mismo que 'scale':
Let’s notice what happens to 2 meters when we multiply, or scale, 2 meters by the other factors.
