Kai pen for Ruth’s dog is 7 feet long and 6/1.3 feet wide. Her friend Ralph’s dog pen is 14 feet long and 6/1.2 feet wide. How many times larger is the area of Ralph’s dog pen?

The area of Ralph's dog pen is 2.05 times larger than the area of Ruth's dog pen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the dog pen for Ruth's dog is 7 feet long and 6 / 1.3 feet wide, while her friend Ralph's dog pen is 14 feet long and 6 / 1.2 feet wide, to determine how many times larger is the area of Ralph's dog pen, the following calculation must be performed:

1/3 = 0.333

1/2 = 0.5

7 x 6.333 = X

44,333 = X

14 x 6.5 = X

91 = X

44,333 = 100

91 = X

91 x 100 / 44.333 = X

9,100 / 44,333 = X

205.26 = X

100 = 1

205.26 = X

205.26 / 100 = X

2.05 = X

Thus, the area of Ralph's dog pen is 2.05 times larger than the area of Ruth's dog pen.
