we know that
[surface area of sphere]=4πr²
[surface area of hemisphere]=2πr²

(sphere)
r=12 in
[surface area of sphere ]=4π12²--------> 576π in²

(hemisphere)
r=12 in[surface area of hemisphere ]=2π12²--------> 288π in²

[the ratio of the surface area of sphere to the surface area of hemisphere]
=576π/288π-------> 2

the answer is
the ratio is 2
