Question

Write the ratio of the first measurement to the second measurement. Compare in millimeters. Diameter of ball A:33 mm. Diameter of ball B: 5.4 cm

Answer 1

the ratio of the first measurement to the second measurement is 11 / 18 or 11 : 18

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter measurement of ball A = 33 mm

diameter measurement of ball B = 5.4 cm

Now, we convert the unit of measurement of ball B from centimeter to millimeter

we know that 1 cm = 10 mm

so 5.4 cm = x mm

x mm = 5.4 × 10 = 54 mm

therefore, diameter measurement of ball B is 54 mm.

Now, the ratio of the first measurement to the second measurement will be;

⇒ 33 / 54

we simplify the fraction

⇒ 11 / 18 or 11 : 18

Therefore, the ratio of the first measurement to the second measurement is 11 / 18 or 11 : 18
