The volume of a sphere is (4/3) (pi) (radius cubed).

The volume of one sphere divided by the volume of another one is

 (4/3) (pi) (radius-A)³ / (4/3) (pi) (radius-B)³

Divide top and bottom by (4/3) (pi) and you have     (radius-A)³ / (radius-B)³
and that's exactly the same as
                                                         ( radius-A / radius-B )  cubed.

I went through all of that to show you that the ratio of the volumes of two spheres
is the cube of the ratio of their radii.

Earth radius = 6,371 km
Pluto radius = 1,161 km

Ratio of their radii = (6,371 km) / (1,161 km)

Ratio of their volumes =  ( 6,371 / 1,161 ) cubed = about <u>165.2</u>

Note: 
I don't like the language of the question where it asks "How many spheres...".
This seems to be asking how many solid cue balls the size of Pluto could be
packed into a shell the size of the Earth, and that's not a simple solution.
The solution I have here is simply the ratio of volumes ... how many Plutos
can fit into a hollow Earth if the Plutos are melted and poured into the shell.
That's a different question, and a lot easier than dealing with solid cue balls.

Andre and Elena are reading the same book over the 1 summer. Andre says he has read of the book. Elena ! says she has read 20 mo
ddd [48]

Answer: There are 175 pages in the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Elena read 20 more pages than Andre and she read 55 pages, to find out how much Andre read you have to:

55-20= the pages Andre read

55-20=35

Andre read 35 pages.

If Andre read 1/5 of the book, then to find how many pages are in the book, you have to multiply 35 x 5. (Multiply by the reciprocal)

35 x 5= 175

There are 175 pages in the book.

Which shows the correct method for solving the equation below?<br> 1/3 (y-9) =3
iragen [17]

Answer:

y=18

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

\frac{1}{3}(y-9)=3

Multiply by 3 both sides

3*(\frac{1}{3}(y-9))=3*3

(y-9)=9

Adds 9 both sides

(y-9)+9=9+9

y=18
