Question 1141521: In 2014 The Lindt Chocolate Company released a Christmas Special‐ the “Lindt Chocolate Maxi‐ Ball”. It was a Spherical container of diameter 20cm that resembled a Lindt Chocolate. Inside were a number of Lindt chocolate truffles. The weight of the maxi ball was 550g.
a. Calculate the volume of the Lindt Chocolate Maxi Ball (remember the diameter is above)
b. If the diameter of the smaller individual truffles is 2.5cm, how many could possible fit into the Max Ball‐ the extra packaging of the lindt chocolate (the clear ruffles ties) is negligible and will not be factored into the calculations.
c. Using your answer in b. calculate the approximate weight of each individual Lindt Chocolate Truffle

.
(a)  Use the formula for the sphere volume via its diameter.


(b)  Regarding this part of (b)


        "the extra packaging of the lindt chocolate (the clear ruffles ties) is negligible",


    I honestly do not understand what does it mean.
