Answer:

33.51 cubic inches of water are needed to fill each toy

Explanation:

Let's recall that the formula of the volume of a sphere:

Volume = 4/3 * π * r³

Replacing with the values we have:

Volume = 4/3 * 3.1416 * 2³

Volume = 4/3 * 3.1416 * 8

Volume = 33.51 inches³

33.51 cubic inches of water are needed to fill each toy
