Question

Kai pen for Ruth’s dog is 7 feet long and 6/1.3 feet wide. Her friend Ralph’s dog pen is 14 feet long and 6/1.2 feet wide. How many times larger is the area of Ralph’s dog pen?

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of Ralph's dog pen is 2.05 times larger than the area of Ruth's dog pen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the dog pen for Ruth's dog is 7 feet long and 6 / 1.3 feet wide, while her friend Ralph's dog pen is 14 feet long and 6 / 1.2 feet wide, to determine how many times larger is the area of Ralph's dog pen, the following calculation must be performed:

1/3 = 0.333

1/2 = 0.5

7 x 6.333 = X

44,333 = X

14 x 6.5 = X

91 = X

44,333 = 100

91 = X

91 x 100 / 44.333 = X

9,100 / 44,333 = X

205.26 = X

100 = 1

205.26 = X

205.26 / 100 = X

2.05 = X

Thus, the area of Ralph's dog pen is 2.05 times larger than the area of Ruth's dog pen.
