To find how many Plutos fit into Earth, divide Earth's volume by Pluto's volume. 4/3 and pi all cancel. So divide Earth's radius cubed by Pluto's radius cubed, or divide Earth's radius by Pluto's radius, then cube the result.

$\Large(\frac{6371}{1161})^3 = 165.24417$ = approximately 165 Pluto spheres have the same volume as one Earth sphere.
