The volumes of two cylindrical cans of the same shape vary as the cubes of their radii. If a can with a six-inch radius holds 1 1/2 pints, how many gallons will a similar can with a 24-inch radius hold?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant get but i'll say to you tmrow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya so it wiil be the similar can with 24 inch radius can hold 6 pints

OpenStudy (anonymous):

varies with the cube!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

96 pints, sorry my first answer was wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is, 24 is four times as large as 6, so your volume will be \[4^3=64 \] times as large

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I forgot that it was cubed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[64\times 1.5 = 96\]

@satellite73 thanks for reminding it was cubed
