Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We shall find the volume of stored gas at atmospheric pressure .

P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

15.5 x 10⁶ x .02 = 10⁵ x V₂ ( atmospheric pressure is 10⁵ Pa )

V₂ = 3.1 m³

volume of one balloon = 4/3 x π r³ , r is radius of balloon

= 4/3 π x .11³

= .050658 m³

no of balloon = total volume to be filled / volume of one balloon

= 3.1 / .050658

= 61 .2

= 61
