A water delivery truck with a cylindrical tank measuring 8 ft in diameter and 8 ft long dispenses water to drought victims in cartons measuring 6 in. × 6 in. × 12 in. How many victims will get a full container of water

Answer 1

volumetank= PIr^2 h= PI(4)^2 * 8

volume carton= 1/2*1/2*1= 1/4 cubic ft

number full= volume tank/volume carton

Answer 2

First calculate the volume of the carton. Then calculate the volume of the tank on the truck. Be careful. The dimensions of the tank on the truck are in feet while the dimensions of the cartons are in inches.
