C. 8.4 in

The formula for the volume of a sphere is V = (4/3)πr^3, where r is the radius.
Given that the volume is 2,482 cubic inches, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the radius:

2,482 = (4/3) * π * r^3
r^3 = (3/4) * 2,482/π
r = (3/4) * (2,482/π)^(1/3)
r ≈ 8.4 in

Therefore, the radius of the sphere to the nearest tenth of an inch is 8.4 in.
