If the radius of one circle is 6 times the radius of another, what is the ratio of their areas? Of their circumferences? Of their diameters?

The answers that I got are 36:1 (as areas), 6:1 (as circumferences), and 6:1 (as diameters), which is the same as yours, but the teacher puts the answers as 1:36, 1:6, and 1:6. Can both of the ways be correct? I mean the question does not say which radius comes first...so that’s why I put the radius with 6 times greater first. Please answer.

The order is not specified. Either way should be OK.
