Answer:
We know that:
small diameter = 2 * 10^-2 in
large diameter = 6 * 10^-2 in
We want to know how many times larger is the thin diameter compared to the large one.
We will do this as follows:
large diameter = k * small diameter
where k is the number of times that we want to find
6 * 10^-2 = k * 2 * 10^-2
k = (6 * 10^-2) / (2 * 10^-2)
k = 3
This means that the large diameter is 3 times the small one.
