Answer 1

Answer:

let the side of the square for the first fish be s/2 when the side of the bigger square is s

now, areas of the two squares,

smaller one =

$(\frac{s}{2} )^{2}$

and bigger one =

${s}^{2}$

the ratio, in attachment:)

Answer 2

Squares are similar figure

Ratio of area = (ratio of corresponding side) ²

Ratio of area of smaller fish : larger fish = (1/2) ²

Ratio of area of smaller fish : larger fish = 1/4

= 1:4
