Question

Write the ratio of the first measurement to the second measurement. Compare in millimeters. Diameter of ball​ A: 44 mm diameter of ball​ B: 7.2 cm The ratio of the diameter of ball A to the diameter of ball B is

Answer 1

11:19

Explanation:

Answer 2

11:18

Explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the ratio of diameter of ball A to that of ball B

what to do here is to ensure that both diameters have measurements that are same units.

Thus, mathematically;

44 mm to 7.2cm

But, mathematically;

10 mm = 1 cm

Thus 7.2cm = 7.2 * 10 = 72mm

Thus, our ratio becomes;

44:72

divide through be 4, we have

44/4 : 72/4

= 11 : 18
