If I have a 2.3 inch in diameter sphere. How many spheres would it take to fill a 100 gallon cube?

A 100 (US liquid) gallon cube is 23100 cubic inches. The maximum proportion of a cube which can be filled by spheres, using cubic closed packing or hexagonal close packing is approx 74.05%. Consequently, the spheres can occupy at most 17105 cubic inches. This volume implies a maximum of 335 spheres.
You cannot divided the volume of the cube by the volume of each sphere because spheres can never occupy all the space in any shape.

How many 100 mile diameter spheres would it take to blanket a 9000 mile diameter sphere with each sphere touching the 6 nearest spheres?
You cannot blanket a large sphere wit smaller spheres because spheres cannot tessellate. There are always gaps between adjacent spheres and so no blanketing is possible.
What is a line that cuts a circle or a sphere in half called?
a bisecting line ? Diameter ______________ The question needs to be re-thought. Lines do not cut spheres in half, no matter where the line is in the sphere. The simplest thing that can cut a sphere in half would be a plane.

How many half inch diameter spheres fit in 353.43 cubic inches?
The volume of a sphere is 4/3 x pi x r3. The radius of those spheres is 0.25 inches. This means the volume of the spheres is 0.0491 cubiic inches. Dividing 353.43 by 0.0491 gives us 7198.17. Assuming we're going by whole spheres, it would take 7198 spheres to occupy this space.
What is the diameter of a sphere if the volume is thirty centimeteres cubed?
The diameter would be 3.855 cm
What is the diameter of a sphere that contains 250 cubic feet of space?
The diameter would be 7.816 feet.
Which sphere would be the least dense sphere?
The planet Saturn is the least dense of all the planets.I think this is actually about the " four spheres" on Earth.The four "spheres" of the Earth's surface can be described as:atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere.The least dense is the atmosphere.
How large is a sphere that has a cubic volume of 020?
This sphere would have a diameter of 3.368 units with a volume of 020 units3
What is the weight in pounds of water in a sphere having a diameter of 1 yard?
The sphere's volume is 0.5236 cubic yards. This volume contains 105.8 gallons of water. Since one gallon of water weighs about 8.34 pounds, the total weight would be about 882.4 pounds.
Can a circle be changed into a sphere?
No. A circle is a 2-dimensional object a sphere is 3-d. However, a circle would generate a sphere if rotated about a diameter.
Vanadium crystallizes in a body-centered cubic lattice the V atoms occupy only the lattice points. How many V atoms are present in a unit cell?
2 that what my quiz said was right I really don't know why but if you would like a free answer it is 2 *The answer is 2 but here is why. Since vanadium crystallizes in a body-centered sphere, it is assembled as one sphere surounded by eight spheres (4 on top and 4 on bottom), so the coordination number is 8 because 8 spheres contact each central sphere. In one cube, you would have the central sphere and 1/8 portion of each surrounding sphere. So you have 1 sphere + 8(1/8 spheres) = 2 spheres (unit cells).
Which of the following would not be a possible planar slice from the octahedron shown below?
The shape of the Earth is very close to a sphere. Its diameter at the equator is 7926 miles. If the Earth were a perfect sphere with diameter of 7926 miles, what would be its surface area?
