Calculating the average volume of the balloon!?

7. Calculate the average radius of the balloon by dividing the average circumference by 6.28 which is approximately equal to 2 π.

8. Calculate the average volume of the balloon as 4 π r ³/3. This is the tidal volume of one average breath in cm³ or cc, also in mL.

9. Multiply the average tidal volume in mL by the average number of breaths you take per minute. Divide the product by 1000 to get the tidal volume per minute in liters.

For 7: My answer is 1.82. I can do #9, but I am struggling with #8 therefore #9 is unanswered.

Thanks!

    I think you missed out 1 to 6 unintentionally and there's some information in there we need to know. Revise your question. In particular we don't have the average circumference to be able to divide it by 6.28 !!
