Two cylindrical containers are shown. Container A has a radius r and a height of h and holds a maximum of 100 ounces of water. Container B has a radius of 4r and a height of 12 h .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "formula for volume of container A is v1 = pi * r^2 * h.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "formula for volume of container B is v2 = pi * (4r)^2 * 12h.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "simplify formula for container B to get v2 = pi * 16 * r^2 * 12 * h.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "simplify further to get v2 = 192 * pi * r^2 * h.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you have v1 = pi * r^2 * h.
\n" ); document.write( "you have v2 = 192 * pi * r^2 * h.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the volume for container B is 192 times the volume for container A.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if container A holds 100 ounces of water, then container B should contain 192 * 100 ounces of water which would then be equal to 19,200 ounces of water.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this assumes the ratio of ounces to volume remains the wame.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "100 / v1 = x / (192 * v1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply to get 100 * 192 * v1 = x * v1\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of that equation by v1 to get 100 * 192 = x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solve for x to get x= 19,200 ounces.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
