I guess you mean the ratio of the areas; it depends if the 2 rectangles are "similar figures"; that is their matching sides are in the same ratio. If they are similar then the ratio of their areas is the square of the ratio of the sides.
That, for every two of something, there is one of something else. For example, if the ratio of men to women at my party is 2:1, there are two men for every one woman.

The ratios of areas are the squares of the ratio of lengths (and the ratio of volumes are cubes of the ratio of lengths). As the perimeter of the second is twice the perimeter of the first, each length of the second is twice the length of the first, and so the ratio of the lengths is 1:2 Thus the ratio of the areas is 1²:2² = 1:4. Therefore the surface area of the larger prism is four times that of the smaller prism.
No, in general that is not true. For two similar figures it is true. But you can easily design two different figures that have the same perimeters and different areas, or the same area and different perimeters. For example, two rectangles with a different length-to-width ratio.
The ratio of two integers P and Q can be expressed as P : Q or P/Q. In both cases, you may divided P and Q by their greatest common factor so as to express the ratio in its simplest form. Alternatively, you may multiply both by some number so that the first part is 1 or the second part is 1 (both unit ratios), or the second part is 100 (a percentage), or a million (part per million) and so on.
If two similar rectangles have the widths 16m and 14cm what is the ratio of the perimiters?
These are not similar rectangles so there is no obvious candidate for the ratio. Is it ratio of lengths (sides, perimeter, diameter), or ratio of area?
If two rectangles are similar, they have corresponding sides and corresponding angles. Corresponding sides must have the same ratio.
The value of a ratio - of two numbers - is the value of the first divided by the second.
If the 'ratio' (length/width) of one rectangle is the same number as (length/width) of the other one, then the two rectangles are similar.
Divide the first ratio by the second. If the answer is less than 1 then the first ratio is smaller. If the answer is equal to 1 then the two ratios are equal. If the answer is greater than 1 then the first ratio is larger.
It is simply the first measurement divided by the second, expressed with their measurement units as a ratio.
for x that makes the first ratio equivalent to the second ratio of x to 14 , 56 to 98
Two variables whose ratio is constant have a linear relationship. The first variable is the second multiplied by the constant.
I can give the width of one of the rectangles. The first rectangle of area 15 cm2 and length of 5 cm has width of 3 cm. It is impossible to know the width of the other rectangle of area 60 cm2. However, if you had said that the two rectangles were similar, then the dimensions of the second rectangle would be 10 cm X 6 cm. But you didn't say that the two rectangles were similar; so there are infinite possibilities of what the dimensions of the second rectangle might be.
In science, the ratio of two quantities is the value of the first quantity divided by the value of the second one. For example, the ratio of 10m to 5m is 2.
That, for every two of something, there is one of something else. For example, if the ratio of men to women at my party is 2:1, there are two men for every one woman.
