Question 150283: the radius of a certain brand of lollipop is 12mm
the formula for the volume of a sphere is V=(4/3)(pie)(r)^3. what is the volume of the lollipop? if you are licking at a rate of 1 lick every 5 seconds, and each lick you take removes 40mm^3 from the volume of the lollipop. how many seconds does it take until the lollipop is consumed? how many licks? if you're dealing with a lollipop with bubble gum in the center, how many licks will it take to get to the center, if the gum has a radius of 5 mm. write an equation that tells you the volume of the lollipop in terms of L, the number of licks. write an equation that tells you the radius of the lollipop in terms of L.
