    0.35 in.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Each ball has a diameter of 2.5 inches. The three balls tightly packed in a column have a total height of 3 * 2.5 inches = 7.5 inches.

    Since the balls are tightly packed in the can, the circumference of the can is very close to the circumference of a ball, so we will use the circumference of a ball as the circumference of the can.

    C = pi * d = 3.14 * 2.5 inches = 7.85 inches

    The difference between the circumference of the can and the height of the can is

    7.85 in. - 7.5 in. = 0.35 in.
