SOLUTION: Volume of a shere. V=4/3 X Pi X radius cubed. Radius=12. I get 4/3 X (12) cubed =2304. When I take 2304 times pi, I get7234.56. It says round to nearest whole #. So I entered 7235.

It's very simple...
For pi you used 3.14
However, that is only an approximation.
Use the "pi" key on your calculator instead
which should give you greater accuracy.
If you don't have a "pi" key, try using the following for pi:
