A soup can, shaped like a cylinder, has a diameter of 3.5 inches and a height of 5 inches. Each serving of soup is 15 cubic inches. If a can of soup this size costs $1.99, what is the cost of each serving of soup? Round to the nearest cent.

The answer to your question is Cost of a serving = $0.62

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

diameter = 3.5 in

height = 5 in

each serving = 15 in³

Cost of the can = $1.99

Process

1.- Calculate the volume of the can

Volume = πr²h

-Substitution

Volume = (3.14)(3.5/2)²(5)

-Simplification

Volume = (3.14)(3.062)(5)

-Result

Volume = 48.08 in³

2.- Use proportions and cross multiplication to find the cost of a serving.

                   48.08 in³ $1.99

                         15  in³  x

                          x = (15 x 1.99)/48.08

                          x = 29.85/48.08

                          x = $0.62

is there supposed to be a diagram or a graph for this one? ?
