Assuming that the balls fit snugly in the container, how can Larry find the radius of one of the tennis balls?
A. Divide the height of the container by 3.
B. Divide the height of the container by 6.
C. Multiply the height of the container by 2.
D. Multiply the height of the container by 3.

Explanation:

i took the quiz :)

Answer 2

The container fits 3 tennis balls. The height of a tennis ball is the diameter of the ball. so the height of the container is 3 diameters.

The radius is 1/2 the diameter, so the container would be 6 radius tall.

To find the radius of a tennis ball divide t he height of the container by 6.

The answer would be B.
