Question 1203180
----------
I have a query involving direct variation.
A question states: ‘The surface area of a sphere, SAmm2, varies directly as the square of its diameter, dmm. If the surface area is doubled, by what ratio must the diameter be altered?’

Written very strangely.   Difficult symbolism used.  


Could you say it like this?
