Answer: A) 3 times

=========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that from a previous screenshot you posted, that


\text{Volume of Cone} = (1)/(3)*\left(\text{Volume of Cylinder}\right)

If we multiply both sides by 3 and swap both sides, then we end up with


\text{Volume of Cylinder} = 3*\left(\text{Volume of Cone}\right)

So that's why we need 3 cups of water, if each cup is the cone in the diagram. Keep in mind that the height of the cylinder and the cone must be same. The two radius values must be the same as well. You don't need to have r = h be true.
