A can of soup has a diameter of 65 mm and a height of 98mm.

Volume of the container = pi x r ^ 2 x h

Diameter = 65 mm

Radius = 65 / 2 mm

Height = 98 mm

Volume = 22/ 7 x 65/ 2 x 65/ 2 x 98 = 325,325 mm^3

The soup can is poured into a rectangular Tupperware container to be heated in the microwave.

The dimensions of the rectangular container are 100mm by150mm by 300mm.

Volume of the Rectangular container = 100 mm x 150 mm x 300 mm = 4,500,000 mm^3

How many cans of soup can be poured into the Tupperware container without the soup overflowing​?

Number of cans of soup = 4,500,000 mm^3 / 325,325 mm^3 = 13. 83

CONCLUSION: 13 cans of soup can be poured into the Tupperware container without the soup overflowing​.
