Question

A container at the petting zoo holds 8,138.88 cubic centimeters of grain. Visitors can fill paper cones with grain from the container. the cones have a radius of 4 centimeters and a height of 9 centimeters. How many times can you fill a cone with the grain that is stored in the container? Use 3.14 to approximate the value of pi

Answer 1

54

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given is :

The volume of the container is = 8138.88 cubic centimeters

Radius of the cone = 4 cm

Height of the cone = 9 cm

Volume of the cone =
`\pi r^(2) (h)/(3)`

So putting the values as pi=3.14 , r=4 and h=9 we get

`3.14*4*4*(9)/(3)` = 150.72 cubic cm

So, the number of times the cone can be filled is =
`(8138.88)/(150.72)=54`

The number of times is = 54.
