Use volume formula for sphere (4/3) × pi × radius^3

Divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius

$V = \frac{ 4 }{ 3 } \pi r^3$ Use 3.14 for pi and r is 1/2 of the diameter.

As explained earlier, radius is 1/2 of the diameter. So what would it be?

to get to the nearest hundredth means to 2 decimal places calculate to 3 places. if the 3rd is 5 or more add 1 to the 2nd place. if the 3rd place is less than 5 drop it

Well, I won't give you the answer, but I'll help you get it for yourself. Back to my earlier question. What did you get for the radius?

Recall that the radius is 1/2 of the diameter and the diameter is given as 2.5 cm. So, what is 1/2 of 2.5 cm?

That's correct. So r = 1.25 cm. Now the volume is calculated using$V = \frac{ 4 }{ 3 } \times 3.14 \times \left( 1.25 \right)^3$Are you able to do this calculation?

Won't tell. If you just want someone to give you the answer, I'm the wrong guy. The problem is all done except for the final calculation, which you said you could do. So, what do you get?

Seems you're not interested in doing the work for yourself, and there are others here that would like some help. So, I'm out. Good luck. Nice working with you.
