<span>Total mass of mixture is given as 5/6 pound, in which 1/4 pound is gravel. Amount of sand in the mixture will be 5/6 - 1/4 = 7/12 So, the ratio of sand to that of gravel in given mixture is 7/12:1/4 = 7:3. i.e every 10 parts of mixture contain 7 parts of sand and 3 parts of gravel. If we are given 1-pound of same mixture, it will contain 1 * 3/10 pound gravel, i.e. 0.3 pound.</span>

There are 10 golf balls in a rectangular prism. Each golf ball has a diameter of 1.25 inches. Find the volume of the golf balls
lara31 [8.8K]
The answer is D.

The formula for the volume of a sphere is \frac{4}{3}  \pi  r^{3} 

You would divide the diameter in half which would give you your radius (r).
Then you plug in the radius value to find the volume of ONE ball.
You would then multiply by 10 to find the volume of TEN golf balls.

D is the closest answer to the volume of ten golf balls
