By “ratio of carrot to carrot skin” I mean “volume of carrot / volume of carrot skin”. Volume of carrot is ~ length³, while volume of carrot skin is approximately ~ length², assuming a similar shape of carrot, because the skin is a constant thickness (determined by your vegetable peeler). This basically means the bigger the carrot the less money you waste on carrot skin.
I don’t think there’s a comma needed there. And in any case, both of those mean the same thing to me. Do you think they can be interpreted differently?
Don’t you mean lower?

yeah sorry I misread your original comment
The volume is length^3? Is the carrot a 10"x10"x10" cube?

Understandable, have a nice day.
I will point out that saying "approximately ~length^2" seems redundant, but that’s neither here nor there.
The approximation is because it’s technically not exactly proportional due to curvature.
