Snowy's Snow Cones has a special bubble gum snow cone on sale. The cone is a regular snow cone that has a spherical piece of bubble gum nested at the bottom of the cone. The radius of the snow cone is 4 inches, and the height of the cone is 6 inches. If the diameter of the bubble gum is 0.8 inches, which of the following can be used to calculate the volume of the cone that can be filled with flavored ice?

The option that can be used to calculate the volume of the cone that can be filled with flavored ice would be = ⅓(3.14)(4)²(6)-4/3(3.14)(0.4)³. That is option B.

How to determine the volume of the cone?

To calculate the volume of the cone, the following steps should be taken as follows:

The formula for volume of a cone;

= ⅓πr²h

Where:

h = 6in

r = 4 in

The formula for volume of a sphere

= 4/3πr³

Radius= diameter/2 = 0.8/2 = 0.4

Therefore, the best formula to determine the volume of the cone that can be filled with flavored ice would be;

⅓(3.14)(4)²(6)-4/3(3.14)(0.4)³
