Pete runs an ice cream stand that also sells snow cones served in paper cones. The paper cones he usually uses have a diameter of 6 inches and a height of 2 inches, but his supplier is out of them. As a replacement, he purchases paper cones with a diameter of 2 inches and a height of 6 inches. How do the volumes of the original and replacement cones compare?
1 answer
The volume of the original cone is 24 cubic inches, while the volume of the replacement cone is 8 cubic inches. The volume of the original cone is three times greater than the volume of the replacement cone.
