A stratum of sand and a stratum of clay have the same thickness of 3 m. The coefficient of 1 of sand is th of coefficient of 5 compressibility compressibility of clay and the permeability of sand is 10,000 times that of the clay. Assuming the same void ratio, the ratio of the consolidation time for the clay to that of the sand is
