Answer:

The answer is $\frac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Sphere A has a radius of 24 centimeters.

Sphere B has a diameter of 42 centimeters.

Divide the diameter by 2 , we get $42/2=21$ centimeters

The scale factor is equal to = $\frac{21}{24}$

Dividing by 2 we get;

$\frac{7}{8}$

So, the answer is $\frac{7}{8}$
