Asteroids and their total volume?

There are roughly one million asteroids in the solar system that with radii greater than one kilometer. If you ume they are all spheres and that they all have a radius of one kilometer, what is their total volume? What would be the radius of a sphere with the same volume? How does that compare to the radius of the earth? (the volume of a sphere is V=(4/3)πr3)
