Question

HELP ASAP!

Jason decides to see a movie. When he arrives at the snack counter to buy his popcorn, he has two choices in the shape of the popcorn container.

Using what you know about unit rate, determine which container is a better buy per $1.

One popcorn container is a cone and costs $6.75 the other is a cylinder and costs $6.25 .

Find the volume of BOTH popcorn containers. Determine which popcorn container will hold THE MOST popcorn.

Answer 1

The cylinder is better to buy because it can hold more.

Explanation:

If the heights of a cone and a cylinder are equal, then the volume of the cylinder is three times as much as the volume of a cone. Cylinder has a greater volume.

Example:

let's say you have a container. one shaped as a cylinder and one as a cone. both of them have a height of 1. Which one do you think will hold more?

the cylinder will hold more because of its shape and volume.

I hope this helps

hang in there ;)
