a spherical metal of radius 10 cm is molten and made into 1000 smaller spheres of equal sizes. in this process the surface area of the metal is increased by .....times.
---------------
Original SA = 4*pi*10^2 = 400pi sq cm
1000 spheres --> 1/10 the radius = 1 cm
New SA = 4pi*1000 = 4000pi sq cm
--------
The SA is increased by a factor of 10.
--> increased by 9 times
ie, it's 10 times as much, 9 times more.
