Question

Lickety Split ice cream
comes in a cylindrical container with an
inside diameter of 6 inches and a height
of 10 inches. The company claims to give
the customer 25 scoops of ice cream per
container, each scoop being a sphere with
a 3-inch diameter. How many scoops will
each container really hold?

Answer 1

vol of a cylinder = pi*r^2*h.diameter is 6 inches.So the radius is 3.So the volume of the cylinder is 90pi

The volume of a sphere is 4/3 * pi *r^3.r=3/2=1.5.So the volume of the sphere is now 4/3 * pi * 1.5 *1.5 * 1.5 = 4.5pi

Number of cones that the cylinder can hold = 90pi/4.5pi = 20 scoops

Answer 2

i got it thank
