Alice and Will are measuring a liquid solution using graduated cylinders. Alice uses 6.5liters of the liquid solution, and Will uses 4,750milliliters of the liquid solution. What is the ratio of Alice's measurements to Will's measurements? Enter your answer as a simplified fraction without units.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

(7 x + 6 y) (49 x^2 - 42 x y + 36 y^2)

discussion:

the trick is to recognize that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 and, in general,

a^3 + b^3 =   (a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2).

in our case

343x^3+216y^3   =   (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

so take a = 7x and b = 6y in the above equation to get the answer.

you,

mrb
