According to the developed scale, a radiant day is <u>16 times</u> brighter than a dim day.
We assume the brightness of a dim day to be x.
According to the developed scale, the brightness of an illuminated day will be 4 times that of a dim day.
Thus, the brightness of an illuminated day = 4*the brightness of a dim day = 4x.
According to the developed scale, the brightness of a radiant day will be 4 times that of an illuminated day.
Thus, the brightness of a radiant day = 4*the brightness of an illuminated day = 4*4x = 16x.
Now, the ratio of the brightness of a radiant day to the brightness of a dim day = 16x:x = 16x/x = 16:1.
Thus, according to the developed scale, a radiant day is <u>16 times</u> brighter than a dim day.

The question provided is incomplete. The complete question is:
"Suppose you have developed a scale that indicates the brightness of sunlight. Each category in the table is 4 times brighter than the next lower category. For example, a day that is dazzling is 4 times brighter than a day that is radiant. How many times brighter is a radiant day than a dim day?
Dim=2
Illuminated=3
Radiant=4
Dazzling=5"
