Tranquility:

You just need to find the ratio between 16 to 1458. Recall that, a to b is the same thing as a:b or a/b

Comerpickles:

So 16:1458, what do I do next?

Tranquility:

You need to simplify it. Can you find any common factors between 16 and 1458?

Comerpickles:

8/729

Tranquility:

That's correct! They both had a factor of 2. And there are no other factors because 8 = 2^3 and 729 = 9^3

Comerpickles:

Okie, thanks

Tranquility:

My pleasure!

Comerpickles:

Answer was wrong, somehow

Tranquility:

What was given as the correct answer?

Tranquility:

@Vocaloid Can you confirm?

Comerpickles:

It doesn't say, it just says that D was incorrect

Tranquility:

1458 * 8/729 = 16 And the units are the same for both. Mhmm

Vocaloid:

you have to be careful with scale factors for volume, increasing by scale factor x results in a volume increase of x^3 so it's actually the cube root of (8/729)

Comerpickles:

Thats what I put in and it was marked as incorrect, see? http://prntscr.com/i88i5o

Tranquility:

Duh, totally slipped my mind. Yes, Vocaloid is correct.

Vocaloid:

it needs to be the cube root of 8/729 not just 8/729

Vocaloid:

(8/729)^(1/3) --> simplify and you'll get your answer

Comerpickles:

So then it was B? 2/27?

Vocaloid:

cube roof of 729 = ?

Vocaloid:

*root

Comerpickles:

27

Comerpickles:

Ohhhh

Vocaloid:

the cube root of 729 is 9 not 27 so 2/9 = your ans

Comerpickles:

Oh
