9 inches

so area of a circle is pi *r^2,  and then you multiply that by the height  for the area of the cylinder.  the area of the original cylinder is 56.5inches cubed.

anonymous · Answer

and if that holds 12 ounces, you divide that by 12, and get  4.708, meaning for every 4.708 inches cubed you get one ounce of ravioli.

anonymous · Answer

do the same equation for the new area so pi*4^2*4.5

anonymous · Answer

which is 226.19, divide it by 4.708 and its 48. it would hold 48 ounces.
