Simplifying both sides of the equation then isolating the variable
Showing fractions can be expressed in model and number line.
Using a model, you have to draw the number of parts (denominator) and shade the number of parts (numerator).
Using a number line, the line starts from 0 to the number of the denominator. You put a marker to the number that is the same as the numerator.
Both model and number line use the value of the numerator and denominator. What makes them different is how they are presented. Model can easily be understood compared to number line.
Volume ratio = 1331/729 which is the cube of the linear scale factor.
To find the linear scale factor, let find the cubic root of the numerator & the denominator:
∛1331 = ∛11³ = 11
& ∛729 = ∛9³ = 9
So the linear scale is 11/9 ==> then the ratio of their surface area will be:
11²/9² ==> 121/81.
Note, if you have a linear scale, then the surface will be the square othis scale & the volume will be the cube of the linear scale
