Question

Need help with this math question.

Answer 1

B. 1 : 26

Explanation:

Let the volume of large cone, the volume of water and the volume of air in the cone be V,

Vw and Va.

Since the cone of water is similar to the large cone and we know its height is x3 smaller,

Vw = (1/3)^3 * V = V/27

Also, Va = V - Vw

= V - V/27 = 26/27 V

Hence, Vw : Va

1 : 26
