6 cm by 1.5 cm
10 cm by 2 cm
13 cm by 4 cm
18 cm by 4.5 cm
80 cm by 20 cm

Problem 2

Rectangle $A$ has length 12 and width 8. Rectangle $B$ has length 15 and width 10. Rectangle $C$ has length 30 and width 15.

Is Rectangle $A$ a scaled copy of Rectangle $B$ ? If so, what is the scale factor?
Is Rectangle $B$ a scaled copy of Rectangle $A$ ? If so, what is the scale factor?
