Two watermelons, A and B , are on sale. Watermelon A has a circumference of 6 inches; watermelon B , 5 inches. If the price of watermelon A is 1.5 times the price of watermelon B , which watermelon is a better buy?

(Assume that the two watermelons are spheres).

(A) A
(B) B
(C) Neither
(D) Both
(E) Impossible to determine


[spoiler]What method would be the most efficient way to solve this ? OA A[/spoiler]

6^3 = 216 and 5^3 = 125
