Read the Penney Problem and Tennis Trouble.

Then, decide what you think about this:


Sphere: Diameter 17.25
V=4/3 (3.14*r³)
4/3 (3.14*8.625³)
4/3(3.14*641.619140625)
4/3 (2014.6841015625)
Volume=2686.24546875

Gum: Base 1 in/ Height .75
V=1/3 (B) (h)
1/3 (1*1*1*1) (.75)
1/3 (.75)
.25
Divide the sphere by the volume of the gum and get: 10,744 (approximately) pieces of gum
