Answer:

The smaller number is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x

the other number is (17 -x) (we know they add up to 17)

2/3 of the bigger number is written as 2/3 (17 - x)

The smaller number is 3 less than that. (so subtract 3 to get x)

x= 2/3 (17 -x) - 3 <-- We have an equation, solve for x

Check 2/3 x 12 - 3 = 8 - 3 = 5

- - Solve:

To find the volume of a sphere:
 \frac{4}{3} *3.14*R^3

3.14≈π

Now since its telling us to use π, then we do our formula by multiplying by π.

π=3.14 (Approximate amount)

So:

4/3*3.14*9^3=3052.08

So you are correct.

When Radius=9, you plug in for R. :)
