!!!HELP!!! PLEASE SHOW WORK SO I CAN UNDERSTAND!A ball shaped like a sphere has a radius of approximately 2 1/8 inches. Which of the following is the best estimate of the volume of the ball?
32 in³
11 in³
25 in³
17 in³

Answer 1
Answer:
The only part of this problem that's the least bit tricky is knowing
the formula for the volume of a sphere.  Here is is:

          Volume of a sphere = (4/3) (pi) (radius of the sphere)³  .

Everything else is just arithmetic.

pi . . . use 3.14
Radius . . . 2-1/8 inches.  It'll be easier if we write that as  2.125 inches.

Now, just put the numbers into their places in the formula:

         Volume = (4/3) (pi) (radius of the sphere)³

                     = (4/3) (3.14) (2.125)³

and run that through your calculator.

When I run it through mine, I get  40.174 in³ .

None of the choices is anywhere near that number.
I'm worried, and I don't understand that.

Maybe we should look back at the question, and notice that
it says "estimate" ... something you do quickly in your head.

OK.  We know the real formula ...   Volume = (4/3) (pi) (radius)³ .
How could we estimate this quickly in our head?

pi . . . instead of 3.14, just use 3

radius . . . instead of 2-1/8, just use 2 .  Then (radius)³ = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

Then  (4/3) (pi) (radius)³ = (4/3) (3) (8) = (4/3) of 24  =  32 .

Well now, will you look at that !  I guess that's where the 32 came from
on the list of choices.

okay. first multiply 16*6*8. that's the volume of the prism that's standing. then do 16*16*4. that's the one on the left. now do 14*14*14. that's the one on the right. add all of them up and you should get 4,536 cm^3

What is 480 increased by 25%.
what is the new number?

Answers

The new number is 600.How do we get 600? Here’s how:
 1. First, we have to get the 25% of 480.
      Multiply 480to 25%.
                   480x 25%= n
Change 25% to decimal form.
                   25/100(as per value of % symbol)
                   25% is 0.25So, 480 x 25% = n is:
                 480x 0.25 = 120
  2.  Add 25% of 480 (120)and 480.
                480 + 120 =600
 Therefore, when 480 is increased by 25%, it is 600.  
480 * 25%480 * 0.25480 * 0.25 = 120480 + 120 = 600.480 increased by 25% is 600
