12. At track practice, there is a cylindrical water cooler full of water. The athletes drink the water from conical paper cups. The water cooler and a paper cup are shown below. 6 in... How many paper cups can be filled completely using all of the water from the full water cooler? A. 36 2 in. B. 108 16 in. C. 144 4 in. D. 216

Respuesta :

Let's calculate each volume:

Volume of the water cooler:

[tex]\begin{gathered} V=\pi\cdot r^2\cdot h \\ V=\pi\cdot(6^2)\cdot16=576\pi \end{gathered}[/tex]

Volume of the paper cups:

[tex]\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot\pi\cdot r^2\cdot h \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot\pi\cdot(2^2)\cdot4=\frac{16}{3}\pi \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\frac{576\pi}{\frac{16}{3}\pi}=108in^3[/tex][tex]\frac{a}{b}\div\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a\times d}{b\times c}[/tex][tex]\frac{576\pi}{\frac{16}{3}\pi}=\frac{576\pi}{1}\div\frac{16\pi}{3}=\frac{576\pi\times3}{1\times16\pi}=\frac{1728\pi}{16\pi}=108[/tex]
