Answer 2

Let both of their areas be A
Let Jason's gardens' width be x
And so Kyra's garden width = 3x
So Jason length = A/x
' Kyra length = A/3x
Find ratio of Jason length: Kyra length
= A/x / A/3x
3:1
Which one do you think'd be correct and why?

Answer 3

Third or second, but I think third

Answer 4

It is actually the second one good try though!
See because, if the have the same AREA but kyra had MORE breadth then obviously Jason would have MORE length to compensate for the EQUAL AREA!
Getting me? :)
