Question

You have 8 gallons of lemonade to sell. You use cone-shaped cups that are 9 centimeters in diameter and 12 centimeters tall. Each customer uses one paper cup. How many paper cups will you need if you sell all of the lemonade? (1 gal ≈ 3785 cm3)

Answer 1

You will need 119 cups to sell all of the lemonade.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Diameter of cups = 9 cm

Radius of cup = $\frac{Diameter}{2}=\frac{9}{2}=4.5\ cm$

Height of cups = 12 cm

We will find volume of cup.

$Volume = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

Putting all the values

$Volume=\frac{1}{3}(3.14)(4.5)^2(12)\\\\Volume=\frac{1}{3}(3.14)(20.25)(12)\\\\Volume= \frac{763.02}{3}\\\\Volume= 254.34\ cm^3$

Therefore;

Each cup can hold 254.34 cubed centimeter of lemonade.

Number of gallons = 8

1 gallon = 3785 cm³

8 gallons = 3785*8 = 30280 cm³

Let,

x = Number of cups

Volume of lemonade in one cup * Number of cups = Volume of 8 gallons

254.34x=30280

Dividing both sides by 254.34

$\frac{254.34x}{254.34}=\frac{30280}{254.34}\\x=119.05$

Rounding off to nearest whole number

x = 119

You will need 119 cups to sell all of the lemonade.
