A container has a surface area of 3,200 cm squared and a capacity of 16 liters. The surface area of a similar container that has a capacity of 0.25 liter is k cm squared, where k is a whole number to be determined. What is the value of k?

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: A container has a surface area of and a capacity of . The surface area of a similar container that has a capacity of is

TO FIND: value of k.

SOLUTION:

Surface area of large container  

Capacity of large container

As the other container is similar

let surface area of other similar container

Capacity of small container

As volume of a container is directly proportional to its Capacity

Therefore,

Hence the value of is
