Question

Please help me! A soup can, shaped like a cylinder, has a diameter of 3.5 inches and a height of 5 inches. Each serving of soup is 15 cubic inches. If a can of soup this size costs $1.99, what is the cost for each serving of soup? Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

The cost for each serving of soup is $0.62

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter =3.5 inches

Radius = 1.75 inches

Height = 5 inches

Each serving of soup = 15 cubic inches

Cost of the can = $1.99

Volume of the can = π(1.75 x 1.75) 5

= (3.14) (3.0625) 5

= 48.08 cubic inches

For 48 cubic inches of soup the cost is $1.99

For 15 cubic inches of soup the coat will be,

Cost = (15x1.99) /48

= $0.62

The cost for each serving of soup is $0.62
