First mug holds the most
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
You are choosing between two mugs
<em><u>The volume of cylinder is given as:</u></em>

Where,
r is the radius and h is the height
<em><u>One has a base that is 5.5 inches in diameter and a height of 3 inches</u></em>

Therefore,

Also, h = 3 inches
<em><u>Thus volume of cylinder is given as:</u></em>

Thus first mug holds 71.24 cubic inches
<em><u>The other has a base of 4.5 inches in diameter and a height of 4 inches</u></em>

h = 4 inches
Therefore,

Thus the second mug holds 63.585 cubic inches
On comparing, volume of both mugs,
Volume of first mug > volume of second mug
First mug holds the most
