Answer:

a) 80
b) 56

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Calculate the volume of the the cup using volume of cylinder equation: [tex]V = \pi r^{2} h[/tex]

Where V = Volume, r=radius, and h=height. Your answer should be in cubic inches ([tex]in^3[/tex]).
You're given diameter, so use equation [tex]d/2 = r[/tex] to find radius.
Substituting these equations will give you: [tex]V = \pi (d/2)^2 h[/tex]
However, the given volume of the sink is 3000[tex]\pi[/tex], meaning that you should modify your results to match this value. Do not substitute [tex]\pi[/tex] for 3.14..., leave it as a symbolic value. Your final V of the cup should = 37.5 [tex]\pi[/tex]
Divide the volume of the sink by the volume of the cup. This number will be the amount of cups needed to empty it. In equation form:
[tex]Vsink / V cup =[/tex] # of cups.
Note the the [tex]\pi[/tex] will cancel each other out, so there's not need to factor that in.
b) Repeat the steps above with the new d (diameter) value.
