Question

At the store Jason finds the total volume of soda in a pack is 50.24 cubic inches . If each cylinder -shaped can has a height of 4 inches and a diameter of 2 inches , how many soda cans are in a pack ? (Use 3.14 for pi)

A) 4

B) 5

C) 13

D) 2


Explain:

Answer 1

Answer: A) 4

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this, first, we have to calculate the volume of each can:

Volume of a cylinder: π x radius^2 x height

Since:

Diameter: 2 radius

2 = 2r

2/2 =r

r=1

Back with the volume formula:

V = 3.14 ( 1)² 4 =12.54 cubic inches

Now, we have to divide the total volume of soda by the volume of each can:

50.24/12.54= 4 soda cans
