Question

Two squares have perimeters of 25 yards and 100 yards respectively. How many times greater is the perimeter of the larger square?

Answer 1

The perimeter of the larger square is
`4` times greater

Explanation:

Let

x-----> the perimeter of the larger square

y----> the perimeter of the smaller square

we have

`x=100\ yd`

`y=25\ yd`

`(x)/(y)=(100)/(25)`

`(x)/(y)=4`

`x=4y`

therefore

The perimeter of the larger square is
`4` times the perimeter of the smaller square
