The scale factor to the problem is 7/8 to produce the radius of sphere B

Answer:

The answer is [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Sphere A has a radius of 24 centimeters.

Sphere B has a diameter of 42 centimeters.

Divide the diameter by 2 , we get [tex]42/2=21[/tex] centimeters

The scale factor is equal to = [tex]\frac{21}{24}[/tex]

Dividing by 2 we get;

[tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

So, the answer is [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
