Answer:

904.78 cubic inches

Explanation:

Since a beach ball is a sphere, use the formula for volume, V = 4/3 * pi * r^3 to find the volume of the beach ball, using 6 for radius since diameter is two times the radius and the diameter is 12 inches. 4/3 * pi * 6^3 = 904.78, so that many cubic inches of air would be needed to inflate the beach ball.

Hopefully this helps- let me know if you have any questions!
