is given.





for given :



So:



You are given and . Plug in the numbers and do the arithmetic.

Note: Volume is measured in cubic centimeters and the radius is measured in centimeters. The time unit is minutes.

Instead of doing it for you, I'll do another one exactly like yours with the
numbers changed.  I'll do this one:

A spherical balloon is decreasing its volume at a rate of 274.98 cm³/min.
Find the rate at which the radius is decreasing when the volume is 5027.23
cm³.
Round to 5 significant digits.




When the volume is 5027.23 cm³, the radius is











Now go back to the formula, allowing r and V to vary.







Now substitute the values:









Answer for my problem: 0.19376 cm²/min

Now do yours.
