A certain variety of watermelon grows in more or less a spherical shape. According to a website, about 70% of a watermelon is edible fruit while the remaining 30% is rind. Ben wants to estimate the volume (in cups) of edible fruit from a whole watermelon that he purchased. He doesn't want to cut the watermelon to find the radius, so instead Ben uses a flexible ruler to determine the watermelon's circumference to be 70 centimeters. Determine the approximate volume of fruit Ben can expect this watermelon to yield. (Use 1 cup = 237 cubic centimeters and round your answer to the nearest whole cup.) Approximately cups
