Answer:

S:V = 1 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Surface area, S = 432 m²

Volume, V = 864 m³

To find the ratio of surface area to volume for a sphere;

The ratio of two or more numbers are determined by reducing the numbers to their nearest minimum i.e dividing all through by the same or common number.

S:V = 432 : 864

Dividing both sides by 432, we have;

S:V = 432/432 : 864/432

S:V = 1 : 2
