One circle has a circumference half as large as that of a
second circle. Which ratio compares the diameter of the
first circle to the diameter of the second circle?

Answer:

The ratio that compares the diameter of the first circle to the diameter of the second circle is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a circle:

The circumference of a circle of diameter d is given by:

[tex]C = \pi d[/tex]

In which d is the diameter.

One circle has a circumference half as large as that of a second circle.

We have that:

[tex]C_1 = \frac{C_2}{2}[/tex]

So

[tex]\pi d_1 = \frac{\pi d_2}{2}[/tex]

Simplifying by [tex]\pi[/tex]

[tex]d_1 = \frac{d_2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{d_1}{d_2} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The ratio that compares the diameter of the first circle to the diameter of the second circle is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
