You have an ice cream scoop with a 2-inch diameter. You have an ice cream cone with a 2-inch diameter and a height of 5 inches. If you place one scoop of ice cream on the cone and let the ice cream melt, will it spill over the cone?

No, because the volume of the cone is greater than the volume of the ice cream scoop.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we just need to compare the volume of the ice scream scoop with the volume of the ice cream cone.

The ice scream scoop is a sphere with a diameter of 2 inches (so a radius of 1 inch), then the volume is:

V = (4/3) * pi * r^3

V = (4/3) * pi * 1^3

V = 4.1888 in3

Now, to find the volume of the ice cream cone, we just need to use the formula of the cone volume (with radius = 1 inch):

V = (1/3) * pi * r^2 * h

V = (1/3) * pi * 1^2 * 5

V = 5.236 in3

As the volume of the cone is greater than the volume of the ice cream scoop, the ice cream will not spill over the cone after melting.
