Question

For a science fair, you want to make a model of the moon orbiting the Earth by using two balls. The diameter of the ball that will represent Earth will be about 62 cm. You want your model to be to scale. If the moon is about 4 times smaller than Earth, what should the diameter of the ball that represents the moon be? Show your work below.

Answer 1

Answer:

Diameter of the moon should be 15.5 cm

Explanation:

Because half a diameter equals to a radius and when we take that radius as a diameter it's radius would be 15.5cm.

Or

divide 62 by 4 = 15.5cm
