To calculate the volume of a cone, you use the formula V = 1/3 * π * r^2 * h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Plugging in the values given:
V = 1/3 * 3.14 * 5^2 * 15
V = 1/3 * 3.14 * 25 * 15
V = 1/3 * 3.14 * 375
V = 3.14 * 125
V = 392.5 cubic inches
Therefore, the correct answer is 392.5 cubic inches.
