Answer:

1 : 9

Explanation:

The ratio of a rectangle that has an area of 20 square feet and a similar rectangle that has an area of 180 square feet, is 1 : 9.

20 square feet

180 square feet

The larger number would go first, making the answer, 180 : 20.

However, it can still be simplified.

180 : 20 simplified is 1 : 9.

Therefore, the ratio of the areas of these similar rectangles is 1 : 9.

\text{Hey there!}


(180)/(20)= (180/20)/(20/20)=180/20=\bf{9}\rightarrow\text{20}/\text{20 = }\bf{1}


\boxed{\boxed{\huge\text{Answer 1 to 9}}}\huge\checkmark


\uparrow\text{For the numeric order}
