Question

A cone-shaped container has a height of 240 in. and a radius of 150 in. The cone is filled with a liquid chemical. The chemical evaporates at a rate of 12,000 in³ per week.

Answer 2

It would take 471 weeks. First, square the radius. Then divide the height by three. Multiply the square radius and the answer you got after dividing h by 3. Then multiply that answer by 3.14. Usually, you're done, but for this problem take the extra step and divide it by 12,000.
