Sphere A has a radius of 24 centimeters, and sphere B has a diameter of 42 centimeters. The radius of sphere A is multiplied by what factor to produce the radius of sphere B?

Respuesta :

Ok, so we know that the radius of Sphere A is 24 cm, and we know that the diameter of Sphere B is 42 cm. To find the radius of Sphere B, all we need to do is divide the diameter by two. The radius of Sphere B is 21 cm. 24 times what factor is 21? Well, [tex]24* \frac{21}{24} [/tex] is equal to 21. All we need to do now is simplify it. Divide the numerator and denominator by 3, and we get [tex] \frac{7}{8} [/tex]

The correct answer is:

B. [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

The radius of sphere A is multiplied by [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] to produce the radius of sphere B.
