McKenzie wants to determine which ice cream option is the best choice.
Part (a)
Volume of Scoop:
A scoop of ice cream is considered a perfect sphere and has a 2-inch diameter.
The volume of the sphere is given by
[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\cdot\pi\cdot r^3[/tex]Where r is the radius.
We know that radius is half of the diameter.
[tex]r=\frac{D}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1[/tex]So, the volume of a scoop of ice cream is
[tex]V_{\text{scoop}}=\frac{4}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot(1)^3=\frac{4}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot1=4.19\: in^3[/tex]Therefore, the volume of a scoop of ice cream is 4.19 in³
Volume of Cone:
A cone has a 2-inch diameter and a height of 4.5 inches.
The volume of a cone is given by
[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot\pi\cdot r^2\cdot h[/tex]Where r is the radius and h is the height of the cone.
We know that radius is half of the diameter.
[tex]r=\frac{D}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1[/tex]So, the volume of a cone of ice cream is
[tex]V_{\text{cone}}=\frac{1}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot(1)^2\cdot4.5=\frac{1}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot1^{}\cdot4.5=4.71\: in^3[/tex]Therefore, the volume of a cone of ice cream is 4.71 in³
Volume of Cup:
A cup, considered a right circular cylinder, has a 3-inch diameter and a height of 2 inches.
The volume of a right circular cylinder is given by
[tex]V=\pi\cdot r^2\cdot h[/tex]Where r is the radius and h is the height of the right circular cylinder.
We know that radius is half of the diameter.
[tex]r=\frac{D}{2}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5[/tex]So, the volume of a cup of ice cream is
[tex]V_{\text{cup}}=3.14\cdot(1.5)^2\cdot2=3.14\cdot2.25\cdot2=14.13\: in^3[/tex]Therefore, the volume of a cup of ice cream is 14.13 in³
Part (b)
Now let us compare the various given options and decide which option is the best value for money
Option 1:
The price of one scoop in a cup is $2
The volume of one scoop of ice cream is 4.19 in³
[tex]rate=\frac{4.19}{\$2}=2.095\: [/tex]Option 2:
The price of two scoops in a cup is $3
The volume of one scoop of ice cream is 4.19 in³
[tex]rate=\frac{2\cdot4.19}{\$3}=2.793\: [/tex]Option 3:
The price of three scoops in a cup is $4
The volume of one scoop of ice cream is 4.19 in³
[tex]rate=\frac{3\cdot4.19}{\$4}=3.1425[/tex]Option 4:
The price of half a scoop in a cone is $2
The volume of one scoop of ice cream is 4.19 in³
The volume of one cone of ice cream is 4.71 in³
[tex]rate=\frac{\frac{4.19}{2}+4.71}{\$2}=\frac{2.095+4.71}{\$2}=\frac{6.805}{\$2}=3.4025[/tex]Option 5:
The price of a cup filled with ice cream is $4
The volume of a cup is 14.13 in³
[tex]rate=\frac{14.13}{\$4}=3.5325[/tex]As you can see, the option 5 (a cup filled with ice cream) has the highest rate (volume/$)
This means that option 5 provides the best value for money.
Therefore, McKenzie should choose "a cup filled with ice cream level to the top of cup" for the best value for money.
