The ratio of the two similar rectangle widths is 54/48 which reduces to 9/8.
"what is the ratio of the perimeter of the area"? <--- this is not clearly expressed. Please re-state this question clearly.
Do you want the ratio of the areas of the corresponding rectangles? Do you want the ratio of the perimeters of the corresponding rectangles? Or both?
Note: you can assume that the LENGTH of the smaller rectangle is L; then the length of the larger rectangle is (9/8)L because of the similarity. You can work with those to express the corresponding perimeters & areas. T
