Two spherical balloons are filled with water. The first balloon has a radius of 3 cm, and the second has a radius of 6 cm.


How much more water is in the larger balloon than in the smaller balloon?

Use 3.14 to approximate pi, and express your answer in the hundredths.


cm3

Verified Answer :

Ok so the volume of a sphere is V = (4\(\pi\) r^3) / 3

So in the 3cm sphere the volume is V = 4 \(\pi\) 27 / 3 --> V = 36 \(\pi\)

and in the 6cm sphere: V = 4 \(\pi\) 216 / 3 --> V = 288 \(\pi\)

So it's 8 times bigger! (288 / 36 = 8)
