Answer:

The answer is 1/4

Explanation:

What you have to do is find the surface area of the retangle with the original demensions, then you find the surface area with the l, w, and h when divided by two. Then you multiple the first answer by the different options and 1/4 will get you the result from the second rectangle.

That answer was kinda word barf but I hope that makes sense.
