no it is not one x cannot have 2 y's.
Large sphere's radius = R,
small sphere's radius = r, R = 8r
surface area of a sphere (SA) = 4×pi×radius^2
So what we need is the SA of the larger in terms of the smaller sphere, so if:
SA (of R) = 4×pi×R^2, then plug in "8r" for "R"...
SA = 4×pi×(8r)^2 = 4×3.14×64r^2
SA = 12.57×64r^2 = 804 r^2
Therefore the SA of the larger sphere is 804 times the SA of the smaller sphere.
I hope that makes sense!
Basically you get the volume first:
10 times 10 times 50
Which is 5,000
And we're given the cans volume already:
9.42
So what we do now is divided the area by the cans for our answer:
5,000/9.42
Which is 530.785563
So Sean can stack 530 cans of beans in his shelf.
(when rounding is is 531 cans)
