anonymous · Answer

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+b), where 'l', is the length and 'b' is the breadth of the rectangle.
Perimeter of the big rectangle:
2(11+5), which equals 32cm.
Perimeter of the small rectangle:
2(9+3), which equals: 24cm.

Ratio of the perimeter of the larger rectangle to the perimeter of the smaller rectangle means, ratio of 32 and 24, which gives: 4/3 as the answer. hope you got my explanation clearly.
