Question

Gerald has a punch bowl in the shape of a hemisphere as shown below.

Answer 1

The closest to the maximum number of cups the punch bowl can hold is 30

How to determine the number of cups?

The given parameters are:

1 cup = 15 cubic inches

Diameter of bowl, d = 12 inches

The radius is the half of the diameter.

So, we have:

r = 6

The volume of the bowl is then calculated using:

$V = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$

This gives

$V = \frac{2}{3}\pi * 6^3$

Evaluate

V = 452.16

The maximum number of cups is then calculated using:

Cups = 452.16/15

Evaluate

Cups = 30.1444

Approximate

Cups = 30

Hence, the closest to the maximum number of cups the punch bowl can hold is 30
