A snow cone wrapper is 6.8 inches tall and has a diameter of 4 fifths inches.If it is filled to the top, how much can fit in the snow cone?

Answer 1

Using the equation for the volume of a cone:

¹/₃ × π × r² × l.

where:

r = 1/2d = 1/2 (4/5) = 0.4 in

l = 6.8 in

therefore volume = 1/3 (3.14)(0.4)**2(6.8) = 1.14 in**3 which is slightly more than the volume of a 1" ice cube. Not much
