Answer:
D. She used the beach's ball's diameter when she should have used the radius
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the volume of the beach ball, using the volume of a sphere is the right formula to use, which is ⁴/3πr³.
The formula she used is correct.
Since the diameter of the ball is assumed to be 12 inches, what is needed to find the volume is the radius.
Radius (r) = ½(diameter) = ½(12) = 6 in.
This is where Emily made a mistake.
She used the diameter of the beach ball instead of its radius (r) which is needed in the equation.
She should have gotten,
V = ⁴/3(3.14)(6)² = 904.32 cubic inches
Write and solve an equation of ratios:
6 inches 1 inch
-------------- = ------------
60 inches x
Cross-multiplying, 6x = 60, so x = 10 inches (answer)
65 millimeters to meters is .065 and you would know this because there's .001 millimeters in 1 meter so with 65 you would move the decimal up 3 spaces o make .065m
The equarion to this problem is 30 + 100 + 50x = x
