There are two rectangles what are the ratio of the first to the second?

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.

What is meant by a ratio of 2 to 1?
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.
What is the missing length of two similar rectangles if the first has length n inches and width 16 inches and the second has length 15 inches and width 12 inches?
20 inches
Two triangular prisms are similar. The perimeter of each face of one prism is double the perimeter of the corresponding face of the other prism. How are the surface areas of the figures related?
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.
Is it true that the greater the perimeter the greater the area?
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.
How do you express the Ratio of two integers?
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.
The width of two similar rectangles are 16 cm and 14 cm what is the ratio of the perimiters?
If two similar rectangles have the widths 16m and 14cm what is the ratio of the perimiters?
What would the ratio of a two rectangles be if one rectangles width is 24Cm and length 30Cm the other rectangle is width of 36 Cm length of 42 Cm?
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 then the corresponding sides are?
If two rectangles are similar, they have corresponding sides and corresponding angles. Corresponding sides must have the same ratio.
What does value of a ratio mean in math?
The value of a ratio - of two numbers - is the value of the first divided by the second.
How do you determine if rectangles are Simular?
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.
How do you compare a ratio using division?
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.
The ratio between two sets of mesurements?
It is simply the first measurement divided by the second, expressed with their measurement units as a ratio.
What do two equivalent ratios make?
for x that makes the first ratio equivalent to the second ratio of x to 14 , 56 to 98
What relationship exists between two variable when their ratio is a constant?
Two variables whose ratio is constant have a linear relationship. The first variable is the second multiplied by the constant.
What is its the width of 2 rectangles that the areas are 15cm2 and 60cm2 the lengt of the first rectangle is 5cm?
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.
What is a ratio related to science?
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.
What is meant by a ratio of 2 to 1?
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.
