A water ride at a local water park has a ride shaped like a cone that acts like a funnel whereby guests swirl around the cone until they drop through its center. There is one ride for adults and a similar, smaller version for children. If the adult ride has a radius of 25 feet and the child ride has a radius of 10 feet, what is the ratio between the volumes of each ride?

25:4

15:6

125:8

5:2

anonymous · Answer

the linear ratio of the adults cone to children cone is 25:10,same as 5:2,to get get the ratio of their volumes simply cube their linear ratio and your get 125:8
