Answer: approximately 10 tins are needed to contain 1000 ounces of popcorn.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining the volume of a cylinder is expressed as
Volume = πr²h
Where
r represents the radius of the cylinder.
π is a constant whose value is 3.14
Diameter of the cylindrical tin is inches.
Radius = diameter/2 = 12/2 = 6 inches
height = 4 inches
Volume = 3.14 × 6² × 4 = 452.16 inches³
An ounce of popcorn takes up about 45 cubic inches of space.
Therefore, the number of ounces of popcorn in 452.16 cubic inches is
452.16/45 = 10.048 ounces
This means that 10.048 ounces requires 1 cylindrical tin.
Therefore, 1000 ounces will require
1000/10.048 = 99.522
Approximately 10 tins
