Question

Mary works at baskin Robbins. She is able to scoop perfectly spherical scoops of ice cream. If she gives you 2 scoops of ice cream that have a radius of 3 cm, what volume of ice cream will you be eating ?

Answer 1

The volume of ice cream will be 127 cm³.

Explanation:

Given:

Mary works at baskin Robbins. She is able to scoop perfectly spherical scoops of ice cream.

She gives you 2 scoops of ice cream that have a radius of 3 cm.

Now, to find the volume of 2 scoops of ice cream that have a radius of 3 cm.

As given in question the scoop is in spherical shape.

Radius ( r ) = 3 cm.

Putting the formula to get the volume:

Volume of sphere =
`(4)/(3) \pi r^3`

Taking 3.14 as the value of π.

Volume =
`(3)/(4) * 3.14* 3^3`

Volume =
`(9.42)/(4) * 27`

Volume =
`(254.34)/(4)`

Volume =
`63.585\ cm^3`

There are 2 scoops of ice cream.

So, the volume of 2 scoops =
`2* 63.585=127.17\ cm^3`

Approximately = 127 cm³.

Therefore, the volume of ice cream will be 127 cm³.
