The radius of a sphere X is 3 inches, and radius of sphere Y is 9 inches. How many
times larger is the volume of sphere Y compared to sphere X?

Respuesta :

The volume of the sphere Y is 27 times the volume of the sphere X

Step-by-step explanation:

Sphere X:

Radius of sphere X = 3 inches

Volume = (4/3) π(27)

Sphere Y:

Radius of sphere Y = 9 inches

Volume = (4/3) π(729)

Volume of sphere Y /volume of sphere X = (4/3) π(729) /(4/3) π(27)

= (729) /(27)

= 27

The volume of the sphere Y is 27 times the volume of the sphere X
