Answer 2

Hey morelikeemarii !

Answer: Each will eat two pieces

`{ \tt{perimeter = 2(length + width)}} \\ \\ { \tt{p = 2(5 + 4)}} \\ \\{ \tt{p = 2 * 9}} \\ \\ { \tt{p = 18}}`

also:

`{ \tt{area = length * width}} \\ \\ { \tt{ = 5 * 4 = 20}}`

• Therefore:

`\dashrightarrow \: { \tt{ (20)/(10) = 2}}`
