Question

What is the scale factor relating the two largest bowls

Answer 1

0.875

Explanations:

Scale factors are ratios between the corresponding measurement of an object. From the given question, we are given the following parameters

Diameter of the largest bowl (B₁) = 32cm

Diameter of the second-largest bowl (B₂) = 28cm

Calculate the scale factor "k"

`k=(B_2)/(B_1)`

Substitute the given parameters to have:

`\begin{gathered} k=(28)/(32) \\ k=0.875 \end{gathered}`

Hence the scale factor relating the two largest bowls is 0.875
