To find the total volume occupied by the marbles, we first need to calculate the volume of a single marble using the formula for the volume of a sphere: V = (4/3) * pi * r^3. Plugging in the radius of 2 mm, we get V = (4/3) * 3.14 * 2^3 = 33.49 mm^3.
Next, we find the total volume occupied by 50 marbles: 50 * 33.49 = 1,674.5 mm^3.
Subtracting the volume of the marbles from the total volume of the container, we get 4,000 - 1,674.5 = 2,325.5 mm^3.
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the answer is 2,325.3 mm^3.
Therefore, the correct answer is: 2,325.3 mm3 or 2,325.3 mm cubed.
he volume of a container measures 4,000 mm3 and contains 50 marbles. Each marble has a radius of 2 mm. Use 3.14 as an approximation for pi. How much space in the box is unused? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.(1 point)

Apologies for that. Let's recheck the calculations.
Total volume occupied by the marbles: 50 marbles * 33.49 mm^3 (volume of a single marble) = 1,674.5 mm^3
Unused space in the box: Total volume of the container - total volume occupied by the marbles
Unused space = 4,000 mm^3 - 1,674.5 mm^3 = 2,325.5 mm^3
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the correct answer is: 2,325.5 mm^3
Therefore, the correct answer is: 2,325.5 mm3 or 2,325.5 mm cubed.
Total volume occupied by the marbles: 50 marbles * 33.49 mm^3 (volume of a single marble) = 1,674.5 mm^3
