To find the volume of a spherical scoop of ice cream with a radius of 3 cm, we can use the formula for the volume of a sphere:
\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \]
where \( V \) is the volume and \( r \) is the radius.
Given:
- Radius \( r = 3 \) cm
- Approximation for \( \pi = 3.14 \)
Now we can plug in the values:
\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (3)^3 \]
First, calculate \( (3)^3 \):
\[ (3)^3 = 27 \]
Now substitute that back into the formula:
\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 27 \]
Now calculate \( \frac{4}{3} \times 27 \):
\[ \frac{4 \times 27}{3} = \frac{108}{3} = 36 \]
Now we can calculate the volume:
\[ V = 36 \times 3.14 \]
Now multiply:
\[ V \approx 113.04 \]
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the volume of the spherical scoop of ice cream is approximately:
\[ \boxed{113} , \text{cm}^3 \]
