The larger sphere is of radius 8cm and is a metal. It is melted down and made into spheres of radius 2 cm. Smaller spheres are of radius 2 cm. How many of the smaller spheres can be made from the larger sphere?
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "You can calculate the 2 volumes and divide to get 64 2\" spheres.
\n" ); document.write( "\"Vol+=+4%2Api%2Ar%5E3%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Or, use the fact that volume is a function of the cube of the radius.
\n" ); document.write( "Vol = k*r^3 (k is a constant)
\n" ); document.write( "8 = 4*2 --> 4^3 = 64 2\" spheres.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
