Answer 3

we need the volume of the cone
what did you get ?

Answer 4

5652000

Answer 5

now divide by 12000
it looks like you get 471 (roughly)... depends what you used for pi

Answer 6

3.14 = pi

Answer 7

ok,
volume = 240/3 * 3.14*150*150
and then we divide by 12000
you get 471

Answer 8

So I got it right?

Answer 9
