Solid metal spheres with diameter \(\dfrac{1}{6}\)  inch are dropped into a rectangular prism tank, where they sink to the bottom. The tank is 10 inches wide by 15 inches long by 8 inches deep, and the water level is currently 3 inches. How many spheres does it take to raise the water level 1 inch? Express your answer to the nearest hundred.

    When the water level rises 1 in, the amount of water in the tank increases by : 10 x 15 x 1 = 150 (in3)

    The volume of each sphere is : \(\dfrac{4}{3}\pi\left(\dfrac{1}{6}:2\right)^3=\dfrac{1}{1296}\pi\) (in3)

    The answer is : \(150:\dfrac{1}{1296}\pi\approx61900\) (spheres)
