The cherry is a round fruit with a round stone. If the flesh
of the cherry around the stone is as thick as the stone itself, can you
calculate mentally how much more pulp than stone there is in the cherry?
Answer: The
diameter of the cherry is three times that of the stone. So, the size of the
cherry is 3 x 3 x 3 =27 times that of the stone.
Thus, the stone occupies 1/27 part of the cherry and the
reaming 26/27 part is occupied by the flesh of the cherry.
In other words. The flesh is 26 times bigger in volume than
the stone.
