OpenStudy (mertsj):

Didn't we settle this problem this morning?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mertsj you said the work was not consistent iam confused a lot due to this problem

OpenStudy (phi):

your line for 4 pi (2.57)^2 is not 166. can you get a calculator and get the right number ?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

According to the comment your teacher made about using the relationship between the side length, the surface area, and the volume you should scrap the incorrect solution you have and say the following:

OpenStudy (mertsj):

When the side length is doubled, the surface area is multiplied by 4 and the volume is multiplied by 8. The original volume was 71 cm^3. The new volume is 8 x 71cm^3=568cm^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we just have to show the volume here nothing else

OpenStudy (mertsj):

When it says "how much air does the balloon hold", it is asking for volume.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now is it correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am realizing iam moving in circles

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[\frac{V}{71}=\frac{5^3}{10^3}\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Then solve for V

OpenStudy (mertsj):

You don't need that step that says that V = that proportion.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you clarify another of my question

OpenStudy (mertsj):

And please note that 5^3/10^3=1/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill make a new post if necessary

OpenStudy (mertsj):

I can try.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

That would be helpful since this one is getting rather long.
