  • Radius=r=7/2=3.5cm
  • h=12cm

Volume

  • πr²h
  • π(3.5)²(12)
  • 12π(12.25)
  • 461.58cm³

Convert to ounces

  • 461.58×0.034
  • 15.7oz
  • 16oz

Option C

Answer:

16 ounces (nearest ounce)

Explanation:

Formula

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h (where r is the radius and h is the height)

Diameter = 2r (where r is the radius)

Given:

  • diameter = 7 cm
  • height = 12 cm

⇒ radius = 7 ÷ 2 = 3.5 cm

⇒ Volume of the jar = π · 3.5² · 12 = 147π cm³

If 1 cm³ = 0.034 ounce, then

⇒ Ounces jar can hold = 147π × 0.034

= 15.70168008

= 16 ounces (nearest ounce)
