Question

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 2 inches, and the height of the cone is 3 inches. If the diameter of the bubble gum is 0.5 inches, which of the following can be used to calculate the volume of the cone that can be filled with flavored ice?

1) 1 over 3 (3.14)(22)(3) - 4 over 3 (3.14)(0.253)
2) 1 over 3 (3.14)(32)(2) - 4 over 3 (3.14)(0.253)
3) 1 over 3 (3.14)(22)(3) - 4 over 3 (3.14)(0.53)
4) 1 over 3 (3.14)(32)(2) - 4 over 3 (3.14)(0.53)

Answer 1

To calculate the volume of the cone that can be filled with flavored ice, subtract the volume of the bubble gum from the volume of the cone.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volume of the cone that can be filled with flavored ice, we need to subtract the volume of the bubble gum from the volume of the cone. The formula for the volume of a cone is V = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h, where r is the radius and h is the height. So the correct formula to use is 1/3 * 3.14 * 2^2 * 3 - 4/3 * 3.14 * 0.253.
