To determine how many baseballs can fit inside a basketball, we need to divide the volume of the basketball by the volume of a baseball.
The volume of a basketball is 448.92 cubic inches, and the volume of a baseball is 12.77 cubic inches. We can perform the following calculation:
Number of baseballs = Volume of basketball / Volume of baseball
Substituting in the given values:
Number of baseballs = 448.92 / 12.77
Calculating this gives:
Number of baseballs ≈ 35.1
This means that approximately 35 baseballs would fit inside a basketball. However, since we can’t have a fraction of a baseball, we can say that a maximum of 35 full baseballs can fit inside the basketball.
