    A solid metal sphere of radius 6 cm is melted and recast

    into smaller solid spheres each of radius 3 cm. How many such smaller spheres can be made?
    A 11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Volume of original sphere: V = (4/3)πR³ = (4/3)π × 6³ = (4/3)π × 216 = 288π Volume of one small sphere (r = 3 cm): v = (4/3)πr³ = (4/3)π × 3³ = (4/3)π × 27 = 36π Number of small spheres = 288π / 36π = 8 Answer: 8 spheres.
