Question 1062745: Marcie purchases a helium tank that contains 7.9 cubic feet of helium. Marcie is making a balloon display that contains 15 spherical balloons with a 6 inch radius.
A: Will the helium tank provide enough helium for the display?
B: Why or why not?
Use the approximation of 3.14 for π in your calculations and round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. Hint: convert 6 inches into feet before you begin your calculation.
Select only one answer each for parts A and B.
B: the total volume of the balloons is more than 7.9 cubic feet
A: Yes
A: No
B: the total volume of the balloons is less than 7.9 cubic feet
B: the total volume of the balloons cannot be determined in cubic feet

Marcie purchases a helium tank that contains 7.9 cubic feet of helium. Marcie is making a balloon display that contains 15 spherical balloons with a 6 inch radius.
A: Will the helium tank provide enough helium for the display?
-----
No info on the pressure of the He in the tank --> no reasonable answers.
---------
If you want to assume the pressure in the tank is = to the pressure in the balloons and compare volumes:
