You can put this solution on YOUR website! One rectangle is 1/2 as wide and 1/4 as long as another rectangle. how do the areas of the 2 rectangles compare
We know the answer is one area is 1/8 of the other, but how do you get it?
-----
The area of one of the rectangles is LW
---
The area of the other is (1/4)L*(1/2)W = (1/8)LW
----
So one area is (1/8) the area of the other.
