Lindor's Truffles have an outer shell diameter of 1.25 in. and a creamy milk chocolate fudge that

makes up the inner circle of the ball that has a diameter of 0.5 in. How much more volume does the
outer shell occupy then the inner fudge?

Answer:

0.22 ( 2 decimal places)

Explanation:

using formula for volume of sphere since the truffle is in a shape of a sphere

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

extra volume =
(4)/(3)\pi ((1.25)/(2) - (0.5)/(2)) ^(3) = 0.2208
