Marissa has a snow cone cart that serves about 30 people each hour at the local beach. If the cone shaped snow cone cups have a height of 3 inches and a radius of 1.5 inches, what volume of shaved ice is needed each hour? Round to the nearest cubic inch.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just do the volume of a cone times 30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the volume of it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/3 × pi × r2 × h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one third times pi times 1.5 squared times 3, and then multiply the answer you get there by 30 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 7.065

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then when i multiply by 30 i get 211.95

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 212 it looks like, when you round it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would you do this one The new business building uptown is building a wall made entirely of glass pyramids. Each pyramid will have a square base with length of 8 inches and height of 10 inches. If the wall requires 250 of these pyramids, what volume of glass will be used? Round to the nearest cubic inch.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the volume of the pyramid and multiply that times 250

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/3 × pi × r2 × h the same like this...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Volume = (B × h)/3 B is the area of the base h is the height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like that^^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

times 250

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ia the volume 250,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 6666.666667

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

round it to the nearest cubic inch

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 67 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no sorry its 6667

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its wronggg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

check your math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(8*10)/3 = 26.6666666.7 and then times 250 like u said would be 6666.666667 u check it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8 times 10 would be the volume of the base, and then you have to find the hight of the pyramid, and then multiply it by 250

OpenStudy (anonymous):

height*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area of the base* sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sooo 80*250

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

times the height of the whole pyramid, you should draw a diagram
