Explanation:

A can is a cylinder.

Volume of a can = Volume of Cylinder


= \pi {r}^(2) h

Given Radius = 3.2 inches and height = 15 inches,

Volume of one olive oil can =


\pi( {3.2}^(2) )(15) \\ = 153.6\pi {in}^(3)

Volume of 5 olive oil cans = 5 x volume of one olive can


= 5 * 153.6\pi \\ = 768\pi {in}^(3)

I will just leave the answer in terms of pi as I'm not sure if you need to round off your answers.
