The ratio of the length of two similar rectangular blocks is 2:3. If the volume of the larger block is 351cm\(^3\), find the volume of the other block.

A

234.00 cm3

B

166.00 cm3

C

526.50 cm3

D

687cm3

correct option: a

Let x = total volume, 2 : 3 = 2 + 3 = 5

\(\frac{3}{5}\)x = 351

x = \(\frac{351 \times 5}{3}\)

= 585

Volume of the smaller block = \(\frac{2}{5}\) x 585

= 234.00cm\(^3\)
