Question

The picture below shows a container that Tim uses to freeze water.

What is the minimum number of identical containers that Tim would need to make 2000 cm3 of ice? (Use π=3.14.)

5

7

22

20

Answer 1

20 cylindrical container tim required

Answer 2

First, you calculate the capacity of each container. So, we find the volume of the cylindrical container. The formula would be:

V = pi*r²*h
V = (3.14)*(4/2)²*8
V = 100.48 cubic cm

To make 2000 cm³, we divide this by the capacity of each container:

Number of containers = 2000/100.48
Number of containers = 19.9

Thus, the minimum number of containers is 20.
