Let's represent birds by the letter x and cats by the letter y. Since birds have 2 legs, and cats have 4, we can express this as:
138 = 2x + 4y
52 = x+y

We can solve by substitution. Let's solve for x in the second equation:
x = 52-y

Replace every x in the first equation by that:
138 = 2(52-y)+4y
138 = 104-2y+4y
138 = 104 + 2y
34 = 2y
y = 17

Now, plug that in for y in second equation and solve for x:
52 = x + 17
x = 35

Since x was the number of birds and y was the number of cats in the store, there are 35 birds and 17 cats in the store.

v =  \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times  {r}^{3}

Finding the radius,

d = 2r, \: r =  \frac{d}{2}  =  \frac{8}{2}  = 4inches

Plugging in our values,

v =  \frac{4}{3}  \times 3.14 \times  {4}^{3}  =  \frac{4}{3}  \times 3.14 \times 64 = 267.95 {inches}^{3}  \\

Rounding to the nearest whol number,

v = 268 {inches}^{3}
