the basic formula should be Volume of cone= 1/3bxh

so all you have to do is plug in your numbers

V of ice cream A = ( pi 5^2 (16) ) /3 = 400pi/3 = 133.33 pi
V of ice cream B = ( pi 4^2 (20) ) /3 = 320 pi/3 = 106. 67 pi

As in comparison, you can figure out which one would give her more volume of ice cream :)
