Estimate the number of tennis ball that would fit into a room that is 4m long, 4m wide, and 3m high. Assume that the diameter of the ball is 3.8 cm.
Imagine a library : there are shelves 8 m high, filled with books on both sides, if the width of the shelves is 60 cm and the distance between the shelves (corridor) is 1.5 m. So first, calculate how many shelves to occupy an area of 3500 m2, how many books are on one shelf, and finally how many books are in total....
