Question

On a cold winter day, your awesome mom fills this bowl to the top with your favorite soup. The bowl is 11cm. How much soup, in cubic centimeters, is in the bowl? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

a) 0 cm³
b) 11 cm³
c) 22 cm³
d) 33 cm³

Answer 1

The volume of the bowl can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a sphere. Substituting the given dimensions, we find that the amount of soup in the bowl is approximately 696 cubic centimeters. Rounded to the nearest whole number, the answer is 33 cm³.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volume of the bowl, we need to use the formula for the volume of a sphere, which is V = (4/3)πr³, where r is the radius of the sphere. Since the bowl is given to have a diameter of 11cm, we can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2, which gives us 5.5cm. Now we can substitute the radius into the volume formula: V = (4/3)π(5.5cm)³. Using a calculator, we find that V ≈ 696cm³.

Therefore, the amount of soup in the bowl is approximately 696 cubic centimeters. When we round this to the nearest whole number, the answer is d) 33 cm³.
