This, in science, is water displacement. Have you ever filled a glass of water to the top, then added ice cubes? The water probably spilled over the top of the glass. That situation is very similar to Nancy's situation. Scientifically, the volume of an item placed in water equals the "after" volume minus the "before" volume. In this case, 650-450=200. That means that the volume for 4 golf b***s is 200mL. To find the volume of each golf ball, we divide by 4. The volume of one golf ball is 50mL. I hope this helped!
