Question

An area of a piece of paper is 0.035475 m^2.
A second piece of paper is three-quarters as long and three-quarters as wide as the first paper. By what factor is its area less than the area found in the first.

Answer 1

Area is length X width. So if the length is x 3/4 and width is x 3/4 then area is 3/4 x 3/4 = 9/16
