How do I figure out what comes first?

Question

example:

the perimeter of JKLM is 72
The perimeter of PQRS is 58.

The ratio of the perimeters is 4/5 but is it PQRS to JKLM, or JKLM to PQRS?

Answer 1

little over big = little to big

Answer 2

So that would mean that it is JKLM to PQRS?

JKLM is the bigger quadrilateral.

Answer 3

Yes. But what did Damon say?

Answer 4

little over big = little to big

Answer 5

Yep. So which one comes first?

Answer 6

well, if that means least to greatest then it would be PQRS to JKLM.

but it sounds like little over big = little to big
means
least to greatest = least to greatest

i might be overthinking.

Answer 7

Yes. Which has the smaller perimeter?

Answer 8

Oh, PQRS has the smallest, JKLM is the greatest.

Answer 9

So it is

PQRS to JKLM

Answer 10

Yes! Yay!
