OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be 3.14 times 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6.28

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what would the answer be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can work it out. The volume of a sphere is\[(4/3)\pi r ^{3}\]You are seeking half volume.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so it's D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are just guessing. Try and do the work.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but you posed 4/3 and thats one of my chocies....Do it divide it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The volume of a sphere is equal to that radius one. You are seeking half volume, half. Don't guess because it looks right, do the work.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am cocnfused whats have of 4/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Half means multiply by 1/2; or divide by 2. Half of 100 is 50, half of 2 is 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got .66666 when i multiply it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your answer choices are in what is called exact figures which means most of the time you can do it without calculator and keep figures like pi. So it simply means dividing 4 by 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so it's 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the only chocie that has 2 is A...so the answer is A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right ?:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You've worked it out. Rely on your work. Have confidence in your answer. Move on to the other one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So yes its A... I am confident but i what to make sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So yes its A... I am confident but i what to make sure?
