The volume of a sphere is (4/3) (pi) (radius cubed).
The volume of one sphere divided by the volume of another one is
(4/3) (pi) (radius-A)³ / (4/3) (pi) (radius-B)³
Divide top and bottom by (4/3) (pi) and you have (radius-A)³ / (radius-B)³
and that's exactly the same as
( radius-A / radius-B ) cubed.
I went through all of that to show you that the ratio of the volumes of two spheres
is the cube of the ratio of their radii.
Earth radius = 6,371 km
Pluto radius = 1,161 km
Ratio of their radii = (6,371 km) / (1,161 km)
Ratio of their volumes = ( 6,371 / 1,161 ) cubed = about <u>165.2</u>
Note:
I don't like the language of the question where it asks "How many spheres...".
This seems to be asking how many solid cue balls the size of Pluto could be
packed into a shell the size of the Earth, and that's not a simple solution.
The solution I have here is simply the ratio of volumes ... how many Plutos
can fit into a hollow Earth if the Plutos are melted and poured into the shell.
That's a different question, and a lot easier than dealing with solid cue balls.
Let's try to find some primes that divide this number.
The number is not divisible by 2, because it is odd.
The number is divisible by 3 though, because the sum of its digits is:
So, we can divide the number by 3 and keep going with the factorization:
This number is again divisible by 3, because
We have
This number is no longer divisible by 3. Let's go on looking for primes that divide it: 5 doesn't because the number doesn't end in 0 nor 5. This number is not divisible by 7 or 11 either (just try). It is divisible by 13 though: we have
And 557 is prime, so we're done. This means that the prime factorization of 65169 is
Answer:
3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
50+12h=86
-50 on both sides
12h=36
divide by 12 on both sides
h=3
Answer:
1: n > -75
2: n < -12
Step-by-step explanation:
1: n/-3 - 8 < 17
n/-3 (- 8 + 8) < 17 + 8
n/-3 < 25
n/-3(-3) < 25(-3)
n < -75
n > -75 (switch symbol when you divide or multiply by a negative number)
2: n/-2 + 11 > 17
n/-2 (+ 11 - 11) > 17 - 11
n/-2 > 6
n/-2(-2) > 6(-2)
n > -12
n < -12 (switch symbol when you divide or multiply by a negative number)
