Answer:

The ratio of the areas of these similar rectangles is 5:48.

Explanation:

Let us convert area into fraction.

Ratio of the area of first rectangle to the area of second rectangle =
(Area of first rectangle)/(Area of second rectangle)

=
(25)/(240)

= (5)/(48)

Hence, the ratio of the areas of these similar rectangles is 5:48.
