Snowy's Snow Cones has a special bubble gum snow cone on sale. The cone is a regular snow cone that has a spherical piece of bubble gum nested at the bottom of the cone. The radius of the snow cone is 3 inches, and the height of the cone is 5 inches. If the diameter of the bubble gum is 1.1 inches, which of the following can be used to calculate the volume of the cone that can be filled with flavored ice?

1 / 3(3.14)(3²)(5) − 4 / 3(3.14)(1.1³)
1 / 3(3.14)(5²)(3) − 4 / 3(3.14)(1.1³)
1 / 3(3.14)(3²)(5) − 4 / 3(3.14)(0.55³)
1 / 3(3.14)(5²)(3) − 4 / 3(3.14)(0.55³)

Answer: The correct answer would be C

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The snow cone has a conic format.
  • The bubble gum has a spherical format.
  • The snow cone is filled with bubble gum and with flavored ice.
  • Thus, the volume of the cone that can be filled with flavored ice is the volume of the cone subtracted by the volume of the bubble gum.
  • To find the volumes, we need to know the formulas for the volume of a cone and the volume of an sphere.

Doing this, we get that the correct option is: 1 / 3(3.14)(3²)(5) − 4 / 3(3.14)(0.55³)

Volume of a cone:

The volume of a cone of height h, with base having radius r, is:

[tex]V = \frac{\pi r^2h}{3}[/tex]

Volume of a sphere:

The volume of a sphere of radius r is given by:

[tex]V = \frac{4\pi r^3}{3}[/tex]

Cone:

  • Radius of 3 inches, so [tex]r = 3[/tex].
  • Height of 5 inches, so [tex]h = 5[/tex]

Thus, the volume of the cone is:

[tex]V_c = \frac{\pi r^2h}{3} = \frac{(3.14)(3)^2(5)}{3}[/tex]

Sphere:

  • Diameter of 1.1 inches.
  • Radius is half the diameter, thus, [tex]r = \frac{1.1}{2} = 0.55[/tex]

Thus, the volume of the sphere is:

[tex]V_s = \frac{4\pi r^3}{3} = \frac{4(3.14)(0.55)^3}{3}[/tex]

Volume of the cone that can be filled with flavored ice?

Total(cone) - bubble gum(sphere). Thus:

[tex]V = V_c - V_s[/tex]

[tex]V = \frac{(3.14)(3)^2(5)}{3} - \frac{4(3.14)(0.55)^3}{3}[/tex]

And the correct option is: 1 / 3(3.14)(3²)(5) − 4 / 3(3.14)(0.55³)
