A softball has a diameter of 3.8in. How many softballs will fit inside of a storage unit that is 6 feet wide,10 feet wide, and 8 feet high?

29090

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we will have to calculate the volumes of a soft ball and the volume of box.

Then we will divide the volume of box with volume of softball to find the number of balls that can be stored in the box.

Diameter of softball = 3.8 in

Radius of softball = 1.9 in = 0.158 ft

Volume of a sphere =

Volume of cuboid box = Length Width Height = 6 10 8 = 480

Number of softballs that can fit inside the storage = = 29090

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
