Can someone please help me with this problem, i don't understand what it is asking.
Jade scooped sand from a completely filled cylinder using a cone-shaped container. The cylinder had a diameter of 12 in. and a height of 5 in., and was one-fourth full after she scooped one full scoop of sand.

What were the dimensions of the cone-shaped container? Use 3.14 to approximate pi.

A.
h = 5 in.; r = 9 in.

B.
h = 9.6 in.; r = 15 in.

C.
h = 11.25 in.; r = 12 in.

D.
h = 15 in.; r = 6 in.

It wants you to 
step 1: find the volume of the cylinder.
step 2:  find 3/4 of this volume (this is the amount in the cone)
step 3: test each choice to see which gives the volume you found in step 2.
