barrel has a diameter of 12 inches and a height of 18 inches. The jugs height and
diameter are both half of the rain barrel's. How many times can the jug be filled up with
one barrel of rain?

14. Jean uses a rain barrel to catch water, and then filters it into a jug for use. The rain

barrel has a diameter of 12 inches and a height of 18 inches. The jugs height and

diameter are both half of the rain barrel's. How many times can the jug be filled up with

one barrel of rain?

a. 24

b. 12

C. 8

d. 4

Explanation:

V = s · h =
\pi v² h =
\pi ·
((d)/(2))^2 · h .

For rain barrel
d=20 ~~~~~~ h=30

For jug
d^1 = (d)/(2) = 10 ~~~~ h^2 = (h)/(2) = 15.

∴ v =
\pi ·
((d)/(2))^2 · h

=
\pi ·
((20)/(2))^2 · 30

=
3000\pi ≀ v =
\pi ·
((d)/(2))^2 · h

∴ v =
\pi ·
((d^1)/(2))^2 · h¹

=
\pi ·
((10)/(2))^2 · 15

=
\pi · 5² · 15

=
375\pi


\pi =
(v)/(v)


\pi = (v)/(v) = (3000\pi )/(375\pi) = 8.
