Question

if a rectangle has a perimeter of 65 and the ratio is 2:5 what is the perimeter of the smaller rectangle?

65/5=13
13x2=26 is that the answer or am I missing a step.

Answer 1

Perimeters are in the same ratios as the sides. You are unclear which rectangle is which, but I am assuming the larger one has perimeter 65, so the smaller one has perimeter

65 * 2/5 = 26

You are correct.
