Answer 1

The ratio of the diameter of ball A to the diameter of ball B is 8/ 17 when measured in millimeters.

To compare the diameters of ball A and ball B, we need to make sure they are in the same unit. Let's convert the diameter of ball B from centimeters to millimeters:

1 cm = 10 mm

So, the diameter of ball B in millimeters is:

Diameter of ball B in mm=6.8cm×10mm/cm=68mm

Now, we can find the ratio of the diameter of ball A to ball B:

Ratio= Diameter of ball A/ Diameter of ball B

Substitute the values:

Ratio = 32 mm/ 68mm

Now, simplify the fraction:

Ratio = 8/ 17

So, the ratio of the diameter of ball A to the diameter of ball B is

8/ 17 when measured in millimeters.
