Amy fills an ice cream cone to the top edge. The diameter of the ice cream cone is 2 inches and its height is 6 inches. Don fills a bowl (V = 5 cubic inches) with ice cream. Amy has how much more ice cream than Don?

So obviously in the context of this question you are meant to find the volume. Since Don's bowl already has a given value of 5 cubic inches we will use that same unit when calculating amy's ice cream cone volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given that amy has a cone and need to find the volume. The formula for the volume of a cone is (V=πr^2*h/3).

π = pi or 3.14......

r = radius (in this case the opening/ diameter of the ice cream cone is given as 2 inches and the radius is half of diameter so d/2 = r (r=1)

h = height (in this case it is given that height is 6 inches)

Remember all variable units must be kept the same so in this case all units are inches.

Now Plug in and solve V = [tex]3.14*(1)^{2} *\frac{(6)}{3}[/tex]

Remember order of operations / PEMDAS (in this case, do exponent first then just multiply from left to right and at the end divide that number by 3.

V= 6.28 cubic inches (since all our units were inches and we are finding cubic volume of a cone)

Now Amy volume of cone - Don volume of bowl = your answer. 6.28-5 = 1.28 cubic inches
