Answer:

33.51 in^3

Explanations:

The balloon is spherical in shape.

The amount of water that the balloon can hold is the volume of the balloon

The volume of a sphere is given by the formula:


\text{Volume = }(4)/(3)\text{ }\pi r^3

The diameter of the balloon = 4 in

The radius, r = diameter / 2

r = 4/2

r = 2 in

π = 22/7


\begin{gathered} \text{Volume = }(4)/(3)*(22)/(7)*2^3 \\ \text{Volume = }(4)/(3)*(22)/(7)*8 \\ \text{Volume = }(704)/(21) \\ \text{Volume = }33.51in^3 \end{gathered}

The balloon can hold 33.51 cubic inches of water
