You are in charge of rolling ground beef into balls before they get made into meatballs at an
Italian restaurant. You start with 500 cubic inches of beef. It is your job to make balls of meat
with a diameter of 2.5 inches. How many meatballs can you make?

Answer :

Answer: 61 meatballs

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to calculate the volume of each meatball:

Volume of a sphere: 4/3 π (diameter/2) ^3

Replacing with the value given:

V = 4/3 π (2.5/2) ^3 = 8.18 in3

Since the volume of available beef is 500 in3, we have to divide it by the volume of each meatball:

500/8.18= 61.11 = 61 meatballs.
