Question

A coke can and a monster can are each in the shape of a right circular cylinder. The cans have the same radius but the height of the monster can is 2 times the height of the coke can. What is the ratio of the volume of the coke can to the volume of the monster can

Answer 1

1 : 8

Explanation:

Given the height of 2 similar cylinders = a : b , then

ratio of volumes = a³ : b³

Here the ratio of heights = 1 : 2

ratio of volumes = 1³ : 2³ = 1 : 8
