A ball with a radius of 15cm rolls on a level surface, and the translational speed of the center of mass is 0.20m/s. What is the angular speed about the center of mass if the ball rolls without slipping?

this is too easy which makes me think i might be doing it wrong
the relation between translation velocity (v) and angular velocity (w) can be expressed as:
v = w * r where r is the radius of the object
so; w = v/r = 0.2/0.15 = 4/3 rad/s
