Question

Ms. Durham makes delicious chili. Each batch makes about 900 in^3 of chili. Will a crockpot that is 15 inches high and a diameter of 12 inches hold a double batch of chili? How do you know?​

Answer 1

Volume of the Crockpot = πr^2h

= 3.14 x 6 x 6 x 15

= 3.14 x 540 in^3

Volume of double batch of chili = 900 x 2 = 1800 in^3

3.14 x 540/1800 = 9.42/10 = 0.942 < 1

Since the value we found by dividing the volume of Crockpot by double batch of chili is less than 1, we can say that the Crockpot will not hold the double batch of chili

Hope this helps!
