How do I do this problem? I am really confused and I need to figure this out tonight because I have a quiz tomorrow that will have these types of problems on it!
Volume of ice cream = (4/3) pi (diameter of ice cream/2)^3 = (4/3)pi (5/2)^3 → (1)
Volume of cone = (1/3)pi (diameter of cone/2)^2 (height of cone) = (1/3)pi (5/2)^2 ( 12) → (2)
Percent of cone filled by ice cream = (1) / (2) =
[ (4/3)pi (5/2)^3 ] / [ (1/3)pi (5/2)^2 ( 12) ] =
4 (5/2) / 12 =
10/12 =
5/6 = .8333 = 83.33% = 83% (rounded)
Thank you, CPhill! You have once again helped someone in desperate need! I very much appreciate the help!
Thanks
