Answer:

$10.3\ in^3$

Explanation:

Orange has the shape of a ball.

The volume of a ball with radius r inches is

$V=(4)/(3)\pi r^3\ in^3$

The radius of one of the oranges is 1.35 inches.

Hence, its volume is

$V=(4)/(3)\cdot \pi \cdot (1.35)^3\approx (4)/(3)\cdot 3.14\cdot 2.460375=10.30077\ in^3 \approx 10.3\ in^3$
