What I am perceiving here is that we need to subtract the volume that the space of the marbles takes up from the volume of the water that could be held in the vase without the marbles.  The volume of water without the marbles is 108pi.  The volume of the 6 marbles is 8pi.  So if I'm correct, the volume of water is 100 pi inches cubed.  sound good?
