Question 195543: How should I do this problem; I don't know how to get the answer. I do know that the formula to find a sphere's volume is V=Bh & "big b" is the area of the base, or pi times the radius squared. I do not recall doing this problem type in class. This is the problem:
The ratio between the volumes of two spheres is 27 to 8. What is the ratio between their respective radii?
A: 81:64
B: 9:8
C: 3:2
D: 27:16
Your help will be much appreciated, so thank you in advance! :D

I have no idea what he base of a sphere is!
:
The ratio between the volumes of two spheres is 27 to 8.
What is the ratio between their respective radii?
;
Vol of the sphere formula: V =
:
Two radii: r1 and r2
:
=
Cancel like terms:
=
Find the cube root of both sides
=
