Question

Snowy's Snow Cones has a special bubble gum snow cone on sale. The cone is a regular snow cone that has a spherical piece of bubble gum nested at the bottom of the cone. The radius of the snow cone is 3 inches, and the height of the cone is 5 inches. If the diameter of the bubble gum is 1.1 inches, what is the closest approximation of the volume of the cone that can be filled with flavored ice? Use 3.14 for pi.

31.87 cubic inches

36.92 cubic inches

46.40 cubic inches

62.87 cubic inches

Answer 1

@jim_thompson5910 (there are just a few that i need checked/helped on) thin this one is 46.40 after i did the formula for both the volumes and subtracted.

Answer 2

or anyone here can you tell me if i am correct?

Answer 3

hmm what did you get for the volume of the bubble gum?
what about the volume of the cone?

Answer 4

V of cone = 47.12
V of gum = 0.7

Answer 5

46.426 or 46.4 yeap, \(\huge \checkmark\)

Answer 6

thank you :D

Answer 7

yw

Answer 8

@jdoe0001 recheck, I have a question :

Answer 9

i don't see how we would be able to find just that part. it wasn't that specific it only gave me those measurements

Answer 10

Ok, I solved this problem once but I can't find out where it is. If I can find it, I will send you link

Answer 11

hmmm

Answer 12

ok thank you :D it may have had different measurements.

Answer 13

... this one looks like

Answer 14

yes that's the dimensions of it. the ball is 1.1 in diameter so wouldn't that mean the height of it is 1.1?

Answer 15

yes, well. for the volume of it you'd need the radius, or 1.1/2

Answer 16

so if we made the hegiht 3.9 to account for the gum? and see if any answers are close?

Answer 17

@jdoe0001

Answer 18

well... the volume of the cone filling will be
the volume of the ball subtracted from the volume of the cone

Answer 19

hmm

Answer 20

yeah.. I'd think that the bottom is also filled...so... volume of the cone - volume of the ball

Answer 21

thats what i thoughti was just checking
