Answer:

Rounding to the nearest whole number, 49 moons can fit in the earth.

Rounding to the tenth place, 50 moons can fit in the earth.

Explanation:

To find how approximately how many moons could fit inside the earth, you would need yo find the volumes the earth and the moon.

V = 4/3 π r^3

Earth:

d = 2r

d = 7926 miles

7926 = 2r

3963 miles = r

V = 4/3 π (3963)^3

V = 4/3 π (62240377347)

V = 82987169796π cubic miles

Moon:

d = 2r

d = 2159 miles

2159 = 2r

1079.5 miles = r

V = 4/3 π (1079.5)^3

V = 4/3 π (1257963209.88)

V = 1677284279.83π cubic miles

Now you divide the volume of earth by the volume of moon to find how many moons can fit in earth

82987169796π ÷ 1677284279.83π =

approx 49
