we know that
volume of a sphere=(4/3)*pi*r³------> volume of a tennis ball
for r=2.5/2-----> 1.25 in
volume of a sphere=(4/3)*pi*1.25³------> 8.18 in³
volume of 3 tennis ball=3*8.18-----> 24.54 in³

volume of a cylinder=pi*r²*h
r=1.25 in
h=2.5*3-----> 7.5 in
volume of a cylinder=pi*1.25²*7.5-----> 36.82 in³

the volume of the space NOT occupied by the tennis balls=36.82-24.54
the volume of the space NOT occupied by the tennis balls=12.28 in³

the answer is
12.3 in³
