You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The volume you have is:
+V+=+12%2A6%2A3+
+V+=+216+ in3
----------------------
The radius of a ball is +2%2F2+=+1+ in
The volume of a ball is:
+V+=+%284%2F3%29%2Api%2Ar%5E3+
+V+=+%284%2F3%29%2Api%2A1+
+V+=+1.333%2A3.1416+
+V+=+4.1888+ in3
--------------------------
+216%2F4.1888+=+51.566+
51 balls can be made
