To calculate the volume of a sphere, we use the formula:

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

where \( V \) is the volume and \( r \) is the radius of the sphere.

### 1. Volume of a sphere with a radius of 7 cm:
- Radius \( r = 7 \) cm
- Plug in the values:

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (7)^3 \]
\[ = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 343 \]
\[ = \frac{4 \times 3.14 \times 343}{3} \]
\[ = \frac{4290.32}{3} \]
\[ = 1430.11 \text{ cm}^3 \]

**Rounded to the nearest hundredth**: 1430.11 cm³.
**Answer**: b. 1,436.03 cm³

### 2. Volume of the piñata with a diameter of 18 inches:
- Diameter \( d = 18 \) inches, so the radius \( r = \frac{18}{2} = 9 \) inches.

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (9)^3 \]
\[ = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 729 \]
\[ = \frac{4 \times 3.14 \times 729}{3} \]
\[ = \frac{9146.52}{3} \]
\[ = 3048.84 \text{ inches}^3 \]

**Rounded to the nearest tenth**: 3048.8 inches³.
**Answer**: b. 3,052.1 inches³

---

### 3. Volume of a sphere with a center point (radius) of 5 ft:
- Radius \( r = 5 \) ft.

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (5)^3 \]
\[ = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 125 \]
\[ = \frac{4 \times 3.14 \times 125}{3} \]
\[ = \frac{1570}{3} \]
\[ = 523.33 \text{ ft}^3 \]

**Rounded to the nearest tenth**: 523.3 ft³.
**Answer**: c. 523.3 ft³

---

### 4. Volume of a soccer ball with an 8 inches diameter:
- Diameter \( d = 8 \) inches, so the radius \( r = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \) inches.

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (4)^3 \]
\[ = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 64 \]
\[ = \frac{4 \times 3.14 \times 64}{3} \]
\[ = \frac{804.16}{3} \]
\[ = 268.72 \text{ inches}^3 \]

**Rounded to the nearest whole number**: 269 inches³.
**Answer**: c. 268 inches³

---

### 5. Volume of the sphere with center point (radius) of 3 cm:
- Radius \( r = 3 \) cm.

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (3)^3 \]
\[ = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 27 \]
\[ = \frac{4 \times 3.14 \times 27}{3} \]
\[ = \frac{339.12}{3} \]
\[ = 113.04 \text{ cm}^3 \]

**Rounded to the nearest tenth**: 113.0 cm³.
**Answer**: a. 113.0 cm³
