5 is a common factor on both of them
1. Should be 1/15 2. Should be 1/6 3. 2/7 4. 1/10 5. 1/6 6. 3/8 7. 1/6
The perimeter is 36 yd.
We set up a proportion to represent this situation. We know that the ratio of the side to the perimeter is the same for every square. This means that the ratio of the first square, 2/8 is the same for the second one. We know that the side length is 9, which gives us:
2/8 = 9/x
Cross multiply:
2*x = 8*9
2x = 72
Divide both sides by 2:
2x/2 = 72/2
x = 36
