Question

A container at the petting zoo holds 8138.88 cubic centimeters of grain. Visitors can fill paper cones with grain from the container. The cones have a radius of 4 centimeters and a height of 9 centimeters. How many times can you fill a cone with the grain that is stored in the container? Use 3.14 to approximate the value of Pi.

Answer 1

54

Explanation:

I had to suffer through i-ready too mate. :'(

Answer 2

54

Explanation:

The volume of the cone is given by the formula ...

V = (1/3)πr²h

so the volume of the paper cone is ...

V = (1/3)(3.14)(4 cm)²(9 cm) = 150.72 cm³

The volume of the grain container is ...

8133.88/150.72 = 54

times that of the cone.

You can fill a cone 54 times with the grain stored in the container.
