    The radius of the base of a cone is 12 cm, and its

    height is 16 cm. The cone is melted and recast into smaller cones of radius 3 cm and height 4 cm. How many such smaller cones can be made?
    A 64 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 96 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Volume of a cone = (1/3)╧Аr┬▓h. Volume of the large cone = (1/3) ├Ч ╧А ├Ч 12┬▓ ├Ч 16 ┬а = (1/3) ├Ч ╧А ├Ч 144 ├Ч 16 = 768╧А cm┬│. Volume of a smaller cone = (1/3) ├Ч ╧А ├Ч 3┬▓ ├Ч 4 = (1/3) ├Ч ╧А ├Ч 9 ├Ч 4 = 12╧А cm┬│. Number of smaller cones = Volume of the large cone / Volume of a smaller cone = 768╧А / 12╧А = 64.
