(1) The document provides the formula to calculate the volume (V) of a spherical balloon as V = 4/3 x π x r3, where r is the radius. (2) It states that if the diameter is 24, then the radius is half of 24, which is 12. (3) Plugging r = 12 into the formula gives the volume.

Clarger = 2 x Csmaller

Example: if Csmaller = 100, then Clarger = 200

therefore, the ratio is 100:200 or 1:2


in fraction, ½
in decimal, 0.5
in percent, 50%

On November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln
gave a speech that would be quoted for centuries
to come. Lincoln’s address starts with
“Four score and seven years ago…”

A score is equal to 20 years, so he was


referencing 87 years ago—1776, when the
Declaration of Independence was signed.

The speech was made, then, seven


score and sixteen years ago.
