Given the statement:
Sphere A has a radius of 24 centimeters, and sphere B has a diameter of 42 centimeters.
Determine what number must be multiplied to the radius of sphere A in order to produce the radius of sphere B
Solution:
In order to find the number, we can represent the condition as,
24x = 42
Now to solve for x, we must divide 24 on both sides of the equation.
24x/24 = 42/24
x = 1.75
Final answer:
The Radius of Sphere A must be multiplied by 1.75 in order to have the radius of Sphere B.
