Because not all toothpicks and not all pencils are of a uniform size, the answer varies depending on the particular toothpick and particular pencil.
As an example, let's suppose that the pencil is 6 inches long, and that the toothpick is 2. The toothpick is, in this case, 2/6 the size of the pencil, or (reducing the fraction) 1/3 its size, which is approximately 33%.

If the length of each side of the bigger squares is x times the length of the side of the smaller square, then the area of the bigger square is x2 times the area of the smaller square.
To calculate the number of ways the letters in the word "pencil" can be rearranged, we first determine the total number of letters, which is 6. Since there are two repeated letters (the letter 'e'), we divide the total number of letters by the factorial of the number of times each repeated letter appears. This gives us 6! / 2! = 360 ways to rearrange the letters in the word "pencil."
