Answer:

50 softballs

Explanation:

Volume of a sphere = (4/3)*π*radius³

A bowling ball has a radius of 8.5/2 = 4.25 in

Volume of a bowling ball = (4/3)*π*4.25³ = 321.56 in³

Circumference of a circle = 2*π*radius

radius of the basketball = Circumference/(2*π)

radius of the basketball = 29.5/(2*π) = 4.7 in

Volume of the basketball = (4/3)*π*4.7³ = 434.9 in³

radius of the softball= 12/(2*π) = 1.9 in

Volume of 50 softballs= 50*(4/3)*π*1.9³ = 1436.55 in³

A golf ball has a radius of 1.7/2 = 0.85 inches

Volume of 48 (four dozens) golf balls= 48*(4/3)*π*0.85³ = 123.48 in³
