The Attempt at a Solution
I tried cross multiplying but obviously that is not the case. These types of questions are the ones I always lose marks in. Any help would be appreciated.
zeldaspurpose said:I'm not sure how to find out, I'm really sorry. All I know:
volume of larger container : volume of smaller container
3456 : 1458
Simplified:
64 : 27
Which is where I got stuck. I don't know what to do from there.
And to make an extreme example: an adult human has about 3 to 4 times the height of a newborn baby. How would an adult look like with 3 to 4 times the mass of a newborn baby?PeroK said:Another hint:
If the ratio of volumes is 64:27, and if you think the ratio of surface areas should be 64:27, do you think the ratio of heights should be 64:27 as well?
