its the first one because for example [-12] and 4
the absolute value of -12 is 12 so its greater
18 / 1 = x / 15......18 miles to 1 gallon = x miles to 15 gallon
cross multiply
(1)(x) = (18)(15)
x = 270 miles
4/3pi *r3 = 972pi
Divide both side by pi
4/3 *r3 = 972
r3 = 972* 3/4
r3 = 729
r = the square root of 729 to the third power (I don't know if I'm expressing this correctly but answer is 9, hope you get that)
r = 9 that's your answer.
Hope it's correct, appreciate if you could let me know
