Answer:
The error of this problem is that 6^3 is supposed to be 216 not 18. The volume is not about 75.4 cubic inches, but it is actually about 904.3
Explanation:
When you evalulate 6^3 it is supposed to look like 6 x 6 x 6, which equals 216. However in this problem, the student does it as 6 x 3 = 18, which makes the whole answer wrong.
So the actual volume of the soccer ball is 904.3 cubic inches. A strategy to prevent from getting the problem wrong is to write 6^3 out as 6 x 6 x 6.
