Question 17

During an IVF assessment, a clinician measures the development of follicles in a patient's ovaries. Analysis shows the total volume of all developing follicles combined is 25,000 mm325,000\text{ mm}^325,000 mm3. The mean diameter of these follicles is 20 mm20\text{ mm}20 mm. Calculate the number of follicles in the patient's ovaries. Assume each follicle is a sphere where Volume of a sphere=43πr3\text{Volume of a sphere} = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3Volume of a sphere=34​πr3, rrr is the radius, and π=3.14\pi = 3.14π=3.14. Give your answer to the nearest whole number.
