Question

A ping pong ball has a diameter of 4cm. How many ping pong balls will fit in a room that is 9.5 meters long, 7.5 meters wide, and 3 meters high?(Hint: 1 meter = 100 centimeters)

Answer 1

Answer:

6042915 balls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a ping pong ball is;

V = (4/3)πr³

diameter of ping pong ball is given 4cm = 0.04 m

Radius; r = 0.04/2 = 0.02 m

V = (4/3)π(0.02³)

V = 0.00003351032 m³

Room is 9.5 meters long, 7.5 meters wide, and 3 meters high.

Volume; V = 9 × 7.5 × 3 = 202.5 m³

Number of ping pong balls that will fit into the room = volume of room/volume of ping pong balls = 202.5/0.00003351032 = 6042914.540956151

Approximately 6042915 balls.
