For each pair of similar solids, determine the ratio requested.
The ratio of volumes is equal to ? in fraction

A) Ratio of volumes = [tex]\frac{1}{25}[/tex]
B) Ratio of volumes = [tex]\frac{343}{512}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have same pair of similar solids , in order to calculate ratio of volumes we divide smaller volume to bigger volume:
A)
Both are cylinders:
Volume of larger cylinder = [tex]v_1[/tex] = [tex]607.5cm^{3}[/tex]
Volume of smaller cylinder = [tex]v_2[/tex] = [tex]24.3cm^{3}[/tex]
∴ Ratio of volumes = [tex]\frac{v_2}{v_1}[/tex]
⇒ Ratio of volumes = [tex]\frac{v_2}{v_1}[/tex]
⇒ Ratio of volumes = [tex]\frac{24.3}{607.5} = \frac{243}{6075}[/tex]
⇒ Ratio of volumes = [tex]\frac{1}{25}[/tex]
B)
Both are Prism:
Volume of larger Prism = [tex]v_1[/tex] = [tex]184.32cm^{3}[/tex]
Volume of smaller Prism = [tex]v_2[/tex] = [tex]123.48cm^{3}[/tex]
∴ Ratio of volumes = [tex]\frac{v_2}{v_1}[/tex]
⇒ Ratio of volumes = [tex]\frac{v_2}{v_1}[/tex]
⇒ Ratio of volumes = [tex]\frac{123.48}{184.32} = \frac{12348}{18432}[/tex]
⇒ Ratio of volumes = [tex]\frac{343}{512}[/tex]
