The radius of the cone is 1.5 inches, and its height is 3 inches. If the diameter of the bubble gum ball is 0.5 inches, what is the closest approximation of the volume of the cone that can be filled with flavored ice?

A.) 21.21

B.) O. O7

C.) 7.00

Step-by-step explanation: You forgot D.

Volume of the cone = π r² h/3

Vcone = 3.14 * (1.75in) ² * 3.5in/3

Vcone = 3.14 * 3.0625 in² * 1.167

Vcone = 11.22 in³

Volume of the gum ball = 4/3 * π * r³

Vball = 4/3 * 3.14 * (0.5in/2) ³

Vball = 4/3 * 3.14 * (0.25in) ³

Vball = 4/3 * 3.14 * 0.015625 in³

Vball = 0.065 in³

11.22 in³ - 0.065 in³ = 11.155 in³ 11.15 in³
