A beverage manufacturer performs a taste-test and discovers that people like their fizzy beverages best when the radius of the bubbles is about 0.3 mm. According to the formula below, what would be the volume of one of these bubbles?

[tex]\[ r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi}} \][/tex]

A. about [tex]$0.11 \text{ mm}^3$[/tex]

B. about [tex]$0.27 \text{ mm}^3$[/tex]

C. about [tex]$0.38 \text{ mm}^3$[/tex]

D. about [tex]$0.42 \text{ mm}^3$[/tex]



Answer :

To determine the volume of a bubble with a radius of 0.3 mm, we can use the formula for the volume of a sphere:

[tex]\[ V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \][/tex]

Here, [tex]\( r \)[/tex] is the radius of the sphere. Given [tex]\( r = 0.3 \)[/tex] mm, we will substitute the value of the radius into the volume formula:

[tex]\[ V = \frac{4}{3}\pi (0.3)^3 \][/tex]

First, calculate [tex]\( 0.3^3 \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ 0.3^3 = 0.3 \times 0.3 \times 0.3 = 0.027 \][/tex]

Now, substitute this result into the volume formula:

[tex]\[ V = \frac{4}{3}\pi \times 0.027 \][/tex]

Next, calculate the multiplication:

[tex]\[ \frac{4}{3} \times 0.027 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \frac{4}{3} \approx 1.333 \][/tex] (rounded to three decimal places)

[tex]\[ 1.333 \times 0.027 \approx 0.035991 \][/tex]

Finally, multiplying by [tex]\( \pi \approx 3.14159 \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ V \approx 0.035991 \times 3.14159 \approx 0.113097 \][/tex]

Therefore, the volume of one of these bubbles is approximately 0.113 mm³, which is closest to option A.

So, the correct answer is:
A. about [tex]\(0.11 \, \text{mm}^3\)[/tex]
