Answer:

Part A)
167\ cups

Part B)
10\ cups

Explanation:

Part A)

we know that

The volume of the sink is


V=(2,000)/(3)\pi\ in^(3)

step 1

Find the volume of the cylindrical cup

The volume is equal to


V=\pi r^(2) h

we have


r=2/2=1\ in ----> the radius is half the diameter


h=4\ in

substitute the values


V=\pi (1)^(2) (4)


V=4\pi\ in^(3)

step 2

To find the number of cups of water, divide the total volume of the sink by the volume of the cylindrical cup


((2,000)/(3)\pi)/(4\pi)=(2,000)/(12)=166.67\ cups

Round to the nearest whole number


167\ cups

Part B)

we know that

The volume of the sink is


V=(2,000)/(3)\pi\ in^(3)

step 1

Find the volume of the cylindrical cup

The volume is equal to


V=\pi r^(2) h

we have


r=6/2=3\ in ----> the radius is half the diameter


h=8\ in

substitute the values


V=\pi (3)^(2) (8)


V=72\pi\ in^(3)

step 2

To find the number of cups of water, divide the total volume of the sink by the volume of the cylindrical cup


((2,000)/(3)\pi)/(72\pi)=(2,000)/(216)=9.26\ cups

Round to the nearest whole number (Round up)


10\ cups
