Question

A cylindrical can and a cone-shaped paper cup have the same radius and weight. If you use the cone to fill the van with water how many full cones will it take to fill the can

Answer 1

3 cones

Explanation:

It is given that there is a cylindrical shaped can and also a coned shaped paper cup. The radius and height of both the cylindrical can and the cone shaped paper cup are same.

So when we fill the cylindrical can with the full coned paper cup, it will take three cones of the paper cup to fill the can with water. This because the volume of a cone is
`$\text{one-third}$` of the volume of a cylinder that have the same base radius and height.
