So, Sally T. Intern has come into possession of a large quantity of oat milk ice cream (though legal means, of course!)
Sally T. works at a hospital with a lot of employees. They get free ice cream on paydays. But some of the ice cream was made with oat milk, and nobody wanted it! Since Sally T. works in the food service department, and the ice cream was going to be thrown out, they gave her the oat milk ice cream. Quite a story, right?
[ed. note: as we’ve mentioned before, Sally’s paying gig provides hard currency, which covers the daily operational expenses of WLBOTT]
Let Us Analyze
WLBOTT: The ice cream is in cylindrical containers that are 10″ high and 9 1/2″ in diameter. How much ice cream do we have in each container?
Elder G: Let’s figure out how much ice cream you have in each container.
Given:
- Height (h): 10 inches
- Diameter (d): 9.5 inches
- Radius (r): Half of the diameter, so r=9.5/2
= 4.75 inches
The volume VV of a cylinder is calculated using the formula:
V = π r2 h
Substituting the values:
V = π (4.75)2 (10)
Each cylindrical container holds approximately 708.82 cubic inches of ice cream, or approximately 3.07 gallons of ice cream.
Also, each container holds approximately 12,280 calories of ice cream.
