Question

A cylinder container 18 inches tall and a diameter of 12 inches is completely filled with vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry ice cream in a ratio of 3:2:1. What is the volume of strawberry ice cream in the container? (round to nearest tenth)

Answer 1

Answer:A

Explanation:

V = πr2 h

V = π(62)(18)

V = 2035.75

Strawberry is 1 part of 6 parts.

Strawberry is

1

6

of the total volume.

then,

2035.75 x

1

6

= 339.29

Answer 2

339.3inches^3

Explanation:

Volume of cylinder V = πr²h

The diameter is constant, so the radius is half of the diameter = 12/2 = 6 inches

It can be seen that the height has been divided into three in the ratio 3:2:1

The height of the strawberry section is 1/6 × 18 = 3 inches.

Now, we calculate the volume of the strawberry section as follows:

π = 3.142

r = 6 inches

h = 3 inches

V = 3.142 × (6)^2 × 3 = 339.336 inches^3

This converted to the nearest tenth is 339.3 inches^3
