Answer:
The answer to your question is: 161 balls
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
rectangular prism = 8 in x 11 in x 5 in
diameter golf balls = 1.68 in radius = 1.68/ 2 = 0.84 in
Formula
Volume rectangular prism = l x w x h
Volume sphere = (4/3)π r³
Process
Volume rectangular prism = 8 x 11 x 5 = 400 in³
Volume balls = (4/3) (3.1416) (0.84)³ = 2.48
# of balls in the compartment = volumen rectangular prism / volume balls
# of balls in the compartment = 400 / 2.48 = 161. 29
