The ratio of the length of two similar rectangular blocks is 2 : 3. If the volume of the larger block is 351 cm3
, then the volume of the other block is?
A.
234.00 cm3
B.
526.50 cm3
C.
166.00 cm3
D.
687cm3
Correct Answer: 234.00 cm3
Explanation
Let x represent total vol. 2 : 3 = 2 + 3 = 5
3/5x = 351
x = (351 × 5)/3
= 585
Volume of smaller block = 2/5 x 585
= 234.00 cm3
Let x represent total vol. 2 : 3 = 2 + 3 = 5
3/5x = 351
x = (351 × 5)/3
= 585
Volume of smaller block = 2/5 x 585
= 234.00 cm3
