Which is greater, 35% of 60 or 30% of 80?
lara [203]
35% of 60 = (35/100)*60 = 0.35 * 60 = 21

30% of 80 = (30/100)*80 = 0.30 * 80 = 24

24 is greater than 21.

30% of 80 is greater.

A water balloon has a diameter of 6 inches. How many cubic inches of water does it contain when it is 3/4 full
Travka [436]
Below are the choices that can be found from other sources:

A) 36 pi 
<span>B) 6 pi </span>
<span>C) 27 pi </span>
<span>D) 216 pi </span>
<span>E) 48 pi
</span>
A sphere's volume is (4/3)*pi*r^3. 
<span>The diameter of the balloon is 6 inches. The diameter is twice the radius. The radius is 3 inches. </span>

<span>(4/3)*pi*3^3 = 36 * pi </span>

<span>But the balloon is only 3/4 full. So </span>

<span>36 * (3/4) * pi = 27 * pi. </span>

<span>The balloon has 27 pi cubic inches of water.</span>
