Question

Two similar cylinders have volumes of 480cm3 and 60cm3.

a) Find the fully simplified ratio of the volume of the larger cylinder to the volume of the smaller cylinder. (Answer : 8:1 )

b) Using the answer to part (a), find the ratio of the height of the larger cylinder to the height of the smaller cylinder.

Answer 1

a,480 over 60=80cm3

b,(c over 24)the whole cubed=480 over 60

c*60=24*480

c=11520/60

=192
