3.  A spherical balloon is inflated with gas at the rate of 400 cubic centimeters per second (that is, the volume of the sphere is increasing at a rate of 400 cubic centimeters per second). How fast is the radius of the balloon increasing when the radius is 50 cm?
The volume of a sphere is \(\frac{4}{3}\pi\) times the radius cubed.

a.  \(\frac{0.02}{\pi}\) cm/s

b.  \(\frac{0.04}{\pi}\)cm/s

c.  \(\frac{0.2}{\pi}\) cm/s

d.  \(\frac{0.4}{\pi}\) cm/s

e.  2 \(\pi\) cm/s
