Question

Lisa and Paul are having a snowball fight and they have 7,180 cubic centimeters of snow. If each snowball they make is in the shape of a sphere with a radius of 3.5 cm, how many snowballs can they throw? Use 3.14 for pi. (Round to the nearest whole number)

Answer 1

40 snowballs

--------------------

Find the volume of each snowball:

• V = (4/3)πr³
• V = (4/3)*3.14*3.5³ = 179.5 cm³

Find the number of snowballs:

• 7180/179.5 = 40
