If the volume of a baseball is 8 times that of a table tennis ball, then the radius is 2 times as much. If the radius is twice as much, then the diameter is twice as much, and the circumference which is C+=+pi%2Ad is also twice as much. Therefore the circumference is TWO times 4.5 inches or 9 inches.
