Answer:

The ratio of the volume of the larger sphere to the volume of the smaller sphere is

2352637 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a sphere is

[tex] \frac{4}{3} \pi {r}^{3} [/tex]

Where r is the radius

radius = diameter / 2

For First sphere

diameter = 8yards

radius = 8 / 2 = 4 yards

Volume of first sphere is

[tex] \frac{4}{3} \pi( {4})^{3} \\ \\ = \frac{256}{3} \pi \: {yd}^{3} [/tex]

For second sphere

diameter = 1064 yards

radius = 1064 / 2 = 532 yards

Volume of second sphere is

[tex] \frac{4}{3} \pi( {532})^{3} \\ \\ = \frac{602275072}{3} \pi \: {yd}^{3} [/tex]

Since the volume of the second sphere is the largest

Ratio of the second sphere to the first one is

[tex] \frac{602275072}{3} \pi \div \frac{256}{3} \pi \\ \\ = \frac{602275072}{3} \pi \times \frac{3}{256} \pi \\ \\ = \frac{602275072}{256} \\ \\ = \frac{ 2352637}{1} \\ \\ = 2352637: 1[/tex]
