Question

Janna is using a cone-shaped cup to fill a cylindrical container. The cup has the same height and radius as the container. How many rimes will she have to fill the cone-shaped cup to completely fill the cylindrical container.

Answer 1

Answer:

3 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Express the volume of the cup in terms of "r" (radius) and "h" (height)

The formula for the volume of a cone is:

Vcone = 1/3 × h × π × r²

Step 2: Express the volume of the container in terms of "r" and "h"

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:

Vcylinder = h × π × r²

Step 3: Calculate how many times the volume of the cone is contained in the volume of the cylinder

Vcylinder/Vcone = (h × π × r²) / (1/3 × h × π × r²) = 3
