Clues for the second puzzle

As before, the two little squares must be the same size, since they have the same height, and the square right below must be twice the width. But if you assign them sizes 1, 1, and 2, then the height of the whole rectangle is 3, and the two on the right side would each be 1 1/2.

See the answer.
