For all you smart people

I have some questions to ask you guys.

There is a balloon with a radius of 45cm.
There is a pump that fills at a rate of 27.3L/s.
How long will it take to fill up the balloon (answer in min plz)?

For some reason I got around 14 min where did i go wrong?

Homework?

41.9 seconds

Okay here are the real figures.
R 45 cm
pump 27.3/min

4/3*pi*.45^3=0.381703507 (figure in m^3)
coversation to L (from m^3)= 1000*0.381703507
= 381.7035074
rate= 381.7035074/27.3
= 13.98181346min
rounds to about 14 min.
Answer is needed in min anyway.

Am I correct or wrong.

You use an incorrect formula and you can't decide whether your rate is per second or per minute.

Maybe you should leave the number stuff to other people. You are clearly not cutout to do math. Or physics.

Noooooooooo. I gave you the wrong info.
its in min not secs OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
