The largest lollipop ever made had a mass of 2158.7kg and was made for a festival in Granna, Sweden on July 27, 2003, If a spherical lollipop with radius 2 cm has a mass of 50 g, what was the radius of this giant lollipop?

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the density is the same for both lollipops, we can calculate what volume is required to make the 2158.7kg the same density of the smaller lollipop.  

Small Lollipop

r = 2cm

V=4 /3πr^3

V = 33.51 cm^3

Mass is 50 g in 33.51 cm^3, so the density is:

50g/(33.51 cm^3) = 1.492 g/cm^3

We have 2158.7kg in the larger lollipop.  That is 2158700 grams.

Find the volume required to contain 2158700 grams with a density of 1.492 g/cm^3.  :

       (2158700 grams)/(1.492 g/cm^3) = 1446775 cm^3

V=4 /3πr^3

1446775 cm^3 = (4/3)*π*r^3

r = 70.12 cm

the answer is y < -3 or   y > 3

-3y > 7 + 2

-3 y > 9

y < -3
