Answer:
part a) 13 scoops
part b) 3 scoops
Step-by-step explanation:
1) so we know that the volume of the sink is 660pi in^3
we have to divide this with the volume of each cup to find out the number of scoops it takes to get all the water out.
since we are dividing, I don't like leaving answers in terms of pi so
660*pi= 2073.45115137
formula for volume of cylinder(diameter) [tex]pi(\frac{d}{2} )^2 h[/tex]
pi*(5/2)^2*h=157.079632679
so
2073.45115137/157.079632679= 13.2 - for cup 1
for cup 2:
pi*(10/2)^2*8= 628.318530718
so
2073.45115137/628.318530718= 3.3- for cup 2
Hope this helps!
