Answer :

Given

The Scranton community gym is 90 feet long 60 feet wide and 40 feet high.

volume of a regulated basketball is approximately 410 cubic inches

Find

Give a lower and upper bound for the number of basketballs it would take to fill the gym

Explanation

Volume of gym =

[tex]90\times60\times40=21600\text{ }cubic\text{ }ft[/tex]

1 ft = 12 inch

so ,

21600 cubic ft =

[tex]\begin{gathered} 21600\times(12)^3 \\ 373,248,000\text{ }cubic\text{ }inches \end{gathered}[/tex]

therefore ,

number of basketballs it would take to fill the gym =

[tex]\begin{gathered} 373,248,000\div410 \\ 910,360.96 \end{gathered}[/tex]

so , it is in the bound of 900,000 - 1,000,000

Final Answer

Hence , a lower and upper bound for the number of basketballs it would take to fill the gym is 900,000 - 1,000,000
