The diameter of a planet is about 10,652 mi. The diameter of the planet's moon is about 25% of the planet. What percent of the volume is the volume of its moon.
*ROUND TO THE NEAREST WHOLE NUMBER AS NEEDED.

Answer:

[tex]2\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x----> the volume of  the planet's moon

y---> the volume of the planet

so

[tex]z^{3}=\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

In this problem we have

[tex]z=0.25[/tex]

elevated to the cube

[tex]z^{3}=0.25^{3}=0.015625[/tex]

Find the percent

[tex]0.015625*100=1.56\%[/tex]

Round to the nearest whole number

[tex]1.56\%=2\%[/tex]
