Question

Tony is trying to calculate how much ice cream he will need to order for his ice cream shop by figuring out the volume of ice cream in one scoop. If the typical scoop of ice cream is 2 inches in radius, and is in the shape of a sphere, what is the volume of one scoop of ice cream?

Answer 1

vsphere=(4/3)pi times r^3

r=radius
given that r=2

v=(4/3)pi2^3
v=(4/3)pi8
v=32/3pi cubic inches
about 10.66666pi cubic inches or hmm, roughly 31 cubic inches (guestimated in head)
