Can you answer separately part by part, I was confused about doing this problem.

A spherical balloon is being inflated at a constant rate of 20 cubic inches per second. How fast is the radius of the balloon changing at the instant the balloon's
diameter is 12 inches? Is the radius changing more rapidly when d = 12 or when d = 16? Why?
Draw several spheres with different radii, and observe that as volume changes, the radius, diameter, and surface area of the balloon also change. Recall that the
volume of a sphere of radius r is V = Tr³. Note that in the setting of this problem, both V and r are changing as time t changes, and thus both V and r may be
viewed as implicit functions of t, with respective derivatives
