Quick answer: 5.4 pounds for a ball 3" in radius.
Remark
You are expected to do this by calling 4/3*pi = some constant k

Givens
r = 2 inches
r1 = 3 inches

Ratio
\frac{W1}{W2} =  \frac{k r^3}{k (r1)^3}

Sub and solve 
Begin by cancelling out the ks.
\frac{W1}{W2} = \frac{r^3}{(r1)^3}

Next substitute for the 2 rs.
\frac{W1}{W2} = \frac{2^3}{3^3}

Now expand the 2 cubic amounts.
\frac{W1}{W2} = \frac{8}{27}

Conclusion Part One
The ratio of the two weights is 8/27

Part Two
Set up the ratio for 1.6 pounds to x
\frac{8}{27} = \frac{1.6}{x}

Cross multiply
8*x = 27 * 1.6  Combine the right side.
8x = 43.2    Divide by 8
x = 43.2 / 8
x = 5.4 pounds.    

If you take physics, you will do this quite frequently.

A square is divided into nine smaller squares of equal area. The center square is then divided into nine smaller squares of equa
Schach [20]

Answer:

1/2 of the figure is shared

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attachment, 4 out of the 8 squares are shaded

The center square which makes it the 9th is subdivided into 9 squares again.

The pattern of division continues indefinitely.

In every subdivision, 4 squares are shaded leaving the other 4 squares white while the 9th(center square) forms another subdivision.

Therefore, it can be concluded that 1/2 of the figure is shaded.

How do you find three consecutive even integers with a sum of -84. Please help!
mote1985 [20]
3 consecutive even integers : x, x + 2, x + 4

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = -84.....combine like terms
3x + 6 = - 84.......subtract 6 from each side
3x = -84 - 6
3x = - 90...divide both sides by 3
x = -90/3
x = -30

x + 2 = -30 + 2 = -28
x + 4 = -30 + 4 = -26

so ur 3 numbers are : -26, -28, -30
