Use feet for measurements.
Diameter, D = 8
Length, L = 8
Volume, V = (L/4)πD²
Volume of cartons, v, one per victim
= (6/12)*(6/12)*(12/12)
= 1/4 cubic foot
Number of victims served, N
= V/v, round down to the nearest whole number
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
