Answer:
Decimal Form: 16.666...
Mixed Number:
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite it into a fraction
Find x
Step 1: Cross Multiply
18 ⋅ x = 18x
1 ⋅ 300 = 300
Step 2: Turn into a ratio
18x : 300
Step 3: Divide Both sides by 18
Cancel the 18's in by themselves, that leaves us with x
Step 4: Simplify
Decimal Form: 16.666...

Area is a squared measure of the one-to-one measure of the figures. If the surface areas of the figures, from smaller to larger, are 36 and 49, by taking the square roots of those numbers, you get the perimeter measure of the figures, which is the one-to-one measure. The square root of 36 is 6, and the square root of 49 is 7. Now, in order to find the ratio of the volumes smaller to larger, we take that one-to-one measure and cube it, since volume is a cubed measure. We will set up the proportions to find the cubed measures first. My proportion will be set up with the smaller figure's info on top and the larger figure's info on bottom: . Those are the cubed ratios. Now we will set up our equation to solve for the volume of the larger:
. Now we can cross-multiply to solve for x, the volume of the larger figure. 216x = 222264. Dividing both sides by 216 gives us a volume for the larger figure of 1029 inches cubed. There you go!
