Answer:

The ratio of the diameter of ball A to the diameter of ball B is 10:19.

Explanation:

Ratios

A ratio is a relation between two quantities and it's calculated as a division. For example, the ratio between 8 and 4 is 8:4 = 8 / 4 = 2.

We are given the diameters of two balls as follows:

The diameter of the ball​ A=30mm

The diameter of the ball​ B=5.7 cm = 57 mm

The ratio of the diameter of ball A to the diameter of ball B is 30:57. Dividing both numbers by 3, we have: ratio=10:19

The ratio of the diameter of ball A to the diameter of ball B is 10:19.
