Question 1177846
.


            The solution and the answer in the post by  @MathLover1 are both  ABSOLUTELY  WRONG.


            I came to bring a correct solution.



<pre>
The ratio of the surface areas of the two solid hemispheres is  4,  according to the condition.


It means that the the ratio of their linear dimensions is  2  (larger to smaller).


Hence, the ratio of their volumes is  8.


Since the material they are made is the same, the ratio of the masses  (weights)  is  8.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  The smaller hemisphere weight is   {{{1/4}}}   of a pound.
</pre>

Solved &nbsp;&nbsp;(correctly).

Looking into her activity in last several days, I start thinking that


@MathLover1 presents a real danger for any visitor to this forum, because she provides wrong solutions even to simplest Math problems.



See my notes to her posts in past two days
