At a Halloween pumpkin sale, Sara buys two sphere-shaped pumpkins, one with radius 3 inches and the other with radius 10 inches. Compute the surface area and the volume for each pumpkin. Then find the surface-area-to-volume ratio for both pumpkins. Which pumpkin has the larger ratio? (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to nearest tenth as needed.)

Find the angular size of a circular object with a 2-inch diameter viewed from a distance of 5 yards. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to nearest tenth as needed.)

A King in ancient times agreed to reward the inventor of chess with one grain of wheat on the first of 64 squares of a chess board. On the second square the King would place two grains of wheat on the third square, four grains of wheat, and on the fourth square eight grains of wheat. If the amount of wheat is doubled in this way on each of the remaining squares, how many grains of wheat should be placed in square 15? Also find the total number of grains of wheat on the board at this time and their total weight in pounds. (Assume that each grain of wheat weighs 1/7000 pound.)
