Question

The ratio of the lengths of the corresponding sides of two rectangles is 8:3. The area of the larger rectangle is 320 ft2. What is the area of the smaller rectangle?

Answer 1

let side of 1 rectangle be 8x then second is 3x
and other side is 8y and 3y
larger area=8x*8y=320
64 *x*y=320
x*y=320/64
small area=3x*3y
=9*x*y=9*320/64 ans
