A cylinder with 6 meter radius and 12 meter height is filled to capacity with water. If the content of the cylinder is used to fill several smaller cylinders of 4 meter diameter and 8 meter height, how many smaller cylinders will be filled to capacity?
Pick:
A) 13
B) 12
C) 4
D) 16
E) 18

Rationale: calculate the volume of the larger cylinder and divide it by the volume of the smaller cylinder . volume of cylinder = π r 2 h larger cylinder volume = 1357.17 smaller cylinder volume = 100.53 therefore the number of cylinders b that can be filled to capacity = 1357.17 / 100.53 = 13.5 answer is a only 13 smaller cylinders can be filled to capacity .
Answer: A
