The two highest-pitch strings on a violin are tuned to 440

The two highest-pitch strings on a violin are tuned to 440 Hz (the A string) and 679 Hz (the E string). What is the ratio of the mass of the A string to that of the E string? Violin strings are all the same length and under essentially the same tension.
