Answer:
yes
Explanation:
You can do this several ways. One is to divide the volume by the rate of filling to see if the time is less than 15 minutes. Another is to find the volume filled in 15 minutes and see if the hemisphere has less volume than that.
Volume of the hemisphere:
V = 2/3πr³
V = 2/3π(30 cm)³ ≈ 56,548.7 cm³
The time to fill it will be ...
V = 56,548.7 cm³/(4000 cm³/min) ≈ 14.14 min
Yes, it takes less than 1/4 hour to fill the container.
