Complete Question

A company uses paper cups shaped like cones for its water cooler. Each cup has a height of 10 cm, and the base has a diameter of 12 cm. The cooler has 16,956 cm³ of water in it. How many cups can be filled from the cooler?

45 paper cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We have to find the volume of the paper cups.

The paper cup is shaped like a cone

Hence, Volume of a cone(paper cup) = 1/3πr²h

π = 3.14

Height = 10 cm

Diameter = 12 cm

Radius = Diameter/2 = 12cm/2 = 6cm

Hence,

Volume = 1/3 × 3.14 × 6² × 10

= 376.8 cm³

Step 2

How many cups can be filled from the cooler?

The cooler contains initially = 16,956 cm³ of water

Hence, the number of cups that can be filled from the cooler is calculated as:

Volume of cooler/Volume of paper cup

= 16,956cm³/376.8 cm³

= 45 paper cups

Therefore, 45 paper cups can be filled from the cooler.
