    Step-by-step explanation:

    First, we need to calculate the circumference of both.

    The circumference of a circular object can be calculated as 2πr

    The circumference of the earth is thus 2 * 3.142 * 6371 = 40,030 = approximately 40,000Km

    The circumference of the moon = 2 * 3.142 * 1737 = 10,913 = apprx 11,000

    The ratio of the circumference of the moon to that of the earth is 11,000:40,000 = 11:40

    1.1 : 4.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    rmoon = 1737 km

    rearth = 6371 km

    Circumference of a circle, C = 2pi * r

    Cearth = 2pi * 6371

    = 4.0 * 10^7 m

    Cmoon = 2pi * 1737

    = 1.1 * 10^7 m

    Ratio of Cmoon to Cearth

    = 1.1 * 10^7 : 4.0 * 10^7

    = 1.1 : 4.
