### Problem:A volcano in the Indian Ocean has 926 cubic kilometers of magma within its chamber underground. Further analysis reveals that the chamber itself is 8% full. How many cubic kilometers of magma are within the chamber?### Options:- 74.08 km³- 201 km³- 56.12 km³- 27.9 km³For educational purposes, students should solve for the actual volume of the chamber using the given data:To find out how many cubic kilometers are within the chamber, use the formula:Total Volume of Chamber = Volume of Magma / Percentage FullGiven:- Volume of Magma = 926 km³- Percentage Full = 8% = 0.08Total Volume of Chamber = 926 km³ / 0.08 = 11,575 km³To find the correct option:- Multiply the Total Volume of Chamber by the Percentage Full to check the initial magma volume:Calculated Magma Volume = 11,575 km³ * 0.08 = 926 km³ (verification)Thus, the calculation confirms the setup and understanding of the problem, illustrating how the total chamber volume correlates with the magma volume reported.
