To calculate the volume of a spherical scoop of ice cream with a radius of 5 cm, we can use the formula for the volume of a sphere:
\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \]
Where:
- \( V \) is the volume,
- \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14,
- \( r \) is the radius of the sphere.
Plugging in the values:
\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (5)^3 \]
First, we calculate \( (5)^3 \):
\[ 5^3 = 125 \]
Now substitute that back into the volume formula:
\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 125 \]
Calculating \( \frac{4}{3} \times 125 \):
\[ \frac{4 \times 125}{3} = \frac{500}{3} \approx 166.67 \]
Now multiply by \( \pi \) (3.14):
\[ V \approx 166.67 \times 3.14 \approx 523.33 \]
Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get:
\[ V \approx 523 \]
Thus, the amount of ice cream in a spherical scoop with a radius of 5 cm is approximately 523.3, which rounds to 523.
So, the correct choice from the provided options is 523.3.
