A hose dispenses 1413 cm3 of water every minute into a cone with a radius of 60 cm and a height of 150 cm.How long will it take to fill the cone?

Use 3.14 to approximate pi.

The question asks to find how long will it take until to fill the cone if 1413 cm^3 of water goes in it every minute. First we have to find the volume of the cone: V = 1/3 r^2 Pi * h; V = 1/3 * 60^2 * 3.14 * 150 ; V = 1/3 * 3600 * 471; V = 565,200 cm^3. If 1413 cm^3 of water goes every minute into the cone, we have to divide the volume by 1413: 565,200 : 1413 = 400. Answer: It will take 400 minutes.
