Step-by-step solution
6 stepsHere are the calculations for the volume of the biscuits:
1. Calculate the volume of 1 biscuit, to one whole number.
Determine the radius of the biscuit.
The biscuit is shaped like a cylinder with a diameter of .
The radius is half of the diameter.Calculate the volume of one cylindrical biscuit.
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is .
Given and height .Using :
Round the volume to one whole number.
The volume of 1 biscuit is .
2. Calculate the volume of 50 biscuits.
Multiply the volume of one biscuit by 50.
The volume of 50 biscuits is .
3. Would a container with a volume of 700 cm³ hold the biscuits? Explain.
Convert the total volume of 50 biscuits from mm³ to cm³.
We know that , so .
Compare the total volume of biscuits with the container's volume.
The total volume of 50 biscuits is .
The container's volume is .
Since , the container would not be able to hold all 50 biscuits.The container would . This is because the total volume of 50 biscuits () is greater than the container's volume ().
