Question 599848
A cylinder 4 in. in diameter and 6 in. high holds 1 lb of oatmeal. To the nearest ounce, how much oatmeal will a similar 10 in. high cylinder hold?(hint: 1 lb = 16 oz) 
-------------
Volume of the cylinder: Base*height
= (pi)r^2*h = 16(pi)*6 = 96(pi) cubic inches.
-------
Note: That volume holds 1 lb of oatmeal.

----------
how much oatmeal will a similar 10 in. high cylinder hold?(hint: 1 lb = 16 oz) 
Volume = 16(pi)*10 = 160(pi) cu inches
-------
# of lbs. of oatmeal in the larger cylinder = [160(pi)]/(96(pi)) 
= 1 2/3 lbs = 1 lb 10 2/3 ounces
