help please

anonymous · Answer

What is your pick?  A or C? justify

anonymous · Answer

i picked A because the way it was explained to me was that 2 & 3 were the least common numbers that they had but that made no sense to me i have no clue how to solve the problem

anonymous · Answer

yes but we are comparing volumes so we have 8:27 , which translates to 2^3 : 3^3, right? so ideally we should have C

anonymous · Answer

right, could you explain in detail or maybe step by step so that i can be prepared for a question like this next time

anonymous · Answer

yes we are asked to fnd similarity of volumes , i.e a ratio of volumes for two cubes
vol 1 =8
vo 2 = 27

vol 1 : vol 2: = 8:27
