Step-by-step explanation

In the question, we are given that,


\begin{gathered} height\text{ of cone = 7.5 inches} \\ radius\text{ of cone = 1.5 inches} \end{gathered}

We will need to find the volume of the cone.


volume\text{ of a cone =}\pi r^2h

Therefore, we will have;


V=\pi*1.5^2*7.5=53.0144

So for 12 hats with candy, we will have;


12* V=12*53.0144=636.1728

Answer: 636.1728 cubic inches
