1. Madi and Sydney are making a snowman when Mr. Little stops by. He notices that the three snowballs have diameters with a ratio of 1:2:3. If the diameter of the smallest sphere (the top) is 18 inches, what is the diameter, in feet, of the largest sphere (the bottom) of the snowman? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth.
2. What is volume of the middle sphere, in cubic inches? The formula for the volume of a sphere is (4/3)πr3. Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.
3. What is the ratio of the volume of the smallest sphere to the volume of the middle sphere? Express your answer in the form a:b.
4. Assuming that our three spheres are placed one on top of the other with no "smushing" or "denting" of the snowballs, how many feet tall is the girls’ snowman?
