Answer:

107.2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

the diameter of ball 8 inches

radius= 8/2 = 4 in

The volume of the ball

[tex]v=4/3 \pi r^3[/tex]

[tex]v= 4/3*3.142*4^3\\\\v= 4/3*3.142*64\\\\v= 804.35/3\\\\v=268.12 in^3[/tex]

Step two:

we know that

rate= quantity/time

rate= 2.4 in per second

quantity= 268.12

time=?

time= quantity/rate

time= 268.12/2.5

time= 107.2 seconds
