Answer:
about 10,652 balls
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the court is 94 ft × 12 in/ft = 1128 in. That is 1128/8.5 ≈ 132.7 times the diameter of a ball.
The width of the court is 50 ft × 12 in/ft = 600 in. That is 600/8.5 ≈ 70.6 times the diameter of a ball.
When the balls are hexagonally packed, their row spacing is only (√3)/2 ≈ 0.866 times the ball diameter, so by cutting out one ball per row on alternate rows, about 15% more rows can be put in place. That is, there can be 81 rows of balls, alternating between 132 and 131 balls per row.
The number of balls that fit in that arrangement is ...
132×81 - 40 = 10,652
___
Since there is some extra space beyond the last row, the balls can be "randomized" and a few more balls added, probably at least 2 or 3.
So we start of with 64 pounds. Then, we subtract 1/4 of 64 (aka 64/4) because she keeps it for her family. Then, we subtract 1/8 of 64/4 (aka 64/4 then /8) because she gives 1/8 of the <em>remainder</em> to her club. Then, we take that number and divide it among 8 friends. So, let's put this into math.
64/4 = 16 pounds she gives to her family
64-16 = 48 pounds left
48/8 = 6 pounds she gives to her club
48 - 6 = 42 pounds left
42/8 = 5.25 pounds each of her friends get. That translates into 84 ounces
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Each of the terms of the sum is a cube. The first is 7³, the next is 8³, then 9³ and 10³. So, we presume the pattern is consecutive integers from 7 to n, each one cubed.
