Question

Carl is filling flowerpots with soil. Each flowerpot is a cylinder with a radius of 7cm and a height of 10 cm. If Carl has 24,000 cubic centimeters of soil, how many flowerpots can he fill?

Answer 1

16 pots

Explanation:

We first need to find out the amount of dirt that can be filled into a single flowerpot.

We use the formula to find the cylinder's volume.

π
`r^(2)`
`* h`

Height is equal to ten, Radius is equal to 7.

49π
`* 10`

≈ 1539.38

25,000 divided by 1539.38

≈ 16.24

He can fill 16 pots fully.
