Question

Sandy is using a 9-inch by 11-inch by 2-inch cake pan to bake a cake. After pouring the batter into the cake pan, she notices that there is a one-inch gap between the top of the batter and the top of the pan. What is the volume of the cake batter?

Answer 1

The volume of the cake batter is 9 * 11 = 99
99 is the volume of the cake batter

Hope I helped ;)

Answer 2

The length of the cake pan given = 9 inch

The width of the cake pan = 11 inch

the height of the cake pan = 2 inch.

Given, after pouring the batter to the cake pan there is 1 inch gap between the top of the batter and the top of the pan.

We are given the height of the pan is 2 inch. As given there is 1 inch gap between top of the batter and the top of the pan,

the height of the cake batter = $(2-1)$ inch = 1 inch.

Now the length and width of the cake batter is same as the cake pan.

The formula to find the volume of the cake batter = length×width×height

So, the required volume = $(9)(11)(1)$ = $99 inch^3$

We have got the required answer. The volume of the cake batter is $99 inch^3$.
