Answer:

(At least) 10 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the ice cream scoop is 2.5 cm and the radius of the cone is also 2.5 cm.

We want to determine the height of the cone such that it will fit all of the ice cream when it melts without any spilling.

First, we will find the volume of the ice cream scoop. The volume for a sphere is given by:

\displaystyle V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Since the radius is 2.5 cm, the volume of the full ice cream scoop is:

\displaystyle V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (2.5)^3

Use a calculator:

V\approx 65.4498\text{ cm}^3

The volume of a cone is given by:

\displaystyle V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

The radius of the cone is 2.5 cm. Therefore:

\displaystyle V=\frac{1}{3}\pi(2.5)^2h=\frac{1}{3}\pi(6.25 h)=\frac{6.25\pi}{3}h

The volume of the cone should be equal to the volume of the scoop. So:

\displaystyle 65.4498=\frac{6.25\pi}{3}h

Solve for h:

\displaystyle h\approx 65.4498\Big(\frac{3}{6.25\pi}\Big)=10\text{ cm}

The height of the cone should be (at least) 10 cm.

Three-eighths of the students in a certain class are males and 3/5 of the male
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

3/5 of the students in the class are not in accounting majors

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of males in the class is 3/8

3/5 of them are accounting majors

The ones who are not in accounting majors are;

3/8 - 3/5 = 9/40

The total number of female students in the class is;

8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8

1/4 of them are accounting majors

The ones who are not in accounting majors are;

5/8 - 1/4 = 3/8

Total number of students not in accounting majors;

9/40 + 3/8

= 24/40

= 3/5
