Question

The volumes of two similar solids are 47cm^3 and 5875cm^3

What is the ratio of the corresponding sides?

Answer 1

Find the cube roots of both the numbers first:
∛47 = 3.6, ∛5875 = 18. So the ratio would be 3.6:18.

Cancel down by dividing the largest number by the smallest number,
3.6:18 and you get 1: 5 (as you divided both by 3.6).

The answer would be 1:5.

Hope this helps
