\r\n" );
document.write( "The ratio of the surface areas of the two solid hemispheres is  4,  according to the condition.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It means that the the ratio of their linear dimensions is  2  (larger to smaller).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the ratio of their volumes is  8.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Since the material they are made is the same, the ratio of the masses  (weights)  is  8.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  The smaller hemisphere weight is      of a pound.\r\n" );
document.write( "
