Question

Annie is filling flower pots with soil. Each flower pot is shaped like a cylinder. Just like the one here below. The radius is 2 inches and the height is 6 inches. Annie has 200 cm3 of soil. How many flower pots can she completely fill with that much soil? No partial fills allowed.

Answer 1

Answer:

• None

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Radius r = 2 in =  2*2.54 cm = 5.08 cm
• Height h = 6 in = 6*2.54 cm = 15.24 cm
• Volume of soil V = 200 cm³

Find the volume of one pot:

• V = πr²h
• V = 3.14*5.08²*15.24 = 1234.92 cm³

From the number above we see the volume of each pot is greater than the volume of soil Ann has, so she can't fill any.

The answer is zero

Note. If the volume unit of soil was in³ the answer would be different
