Question 1022794: Here is the question: "A rectangle has an area of 25 square feet. A similar rectangle has an area of 240 square feet. What is the ratio of the areas of these similar rectangles?" I don't quite understand what I'm meant to be doing or how to do it? I thought that maybe I should try to divide 240 by 25, and I got 9.6, but I'm not sure about what else to do. Can anyone help?
