I think it would be fun to surprise my son on his birthday by filling his entire bedroom with balloons. The volume of his bedroom is 2250 cubic feet, and the volume of an inflated balloon is 1.3 cubic feet. Assuming I filled him entire room with balloons, and there is no leftover space when I'm finished, how many balloons will I need to accomplish this birthday surprise ? Round to the nearest whole number
Expert Solution
Step 1

Volume of bedroom is=2250 cft

Volume of one inflated balloon is=1.3 cft 

Hence total number of balloon needed is=2250/1.3

                                                                       =1730.769

So total number of balloon is=1731
