Let’s say you have a water tank in the shape of a perfect sphere. The diameter of the tank is 12 cm and you know the microbe density of the water (also assume the tank is fully filled) is 143 microbes/ cubic centimeter. Find the number of microbes in this tank to the nearest integer. Note that the volume of a sphere is given by \frac{4}{3}\pi r ^{3}
