Question 1047309
.
what formula would I use to see how many bowling balls (8.6inches in diameter) fit into a crate that is 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet? please help.

You are guaranteed to put there 4*4*4 balls = 64 balls.


Because 4 times 8.6 inches =  34.4 inches < 36 inches = 3 feet,

so 4 balls fit to 3 feet.
