Question 39619: The package of a model car states that the ratio of the length of a real car is 1:25. What is the ratio of the amount of paint required to cover the model to the amount required to cover the real car?

Since area is normally a square unit and length is a linear unit, we can assume that the area to paint would be the square of the length's ratio.
So if the lengths are in the ratio 1 to 25, the areas must be in the ratio of 1 to 25^2 or
1 to 625
