Question by slimshadysback: more finding volume word problems?
how would i set up a problem like this?

A jeweler is casting small gold cones for a special piece of jewelry. She has 60g total of gold to use and wishes to make twelve cones with a radius of 0.5cm and a height of 1cm. If gold weighs 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter, does she have enough to make the cones?

thank you so much!

Best answer:

Answer by bhagi
Volume of a cone: [pi*h*(r^3)]/3

r = .5
h = 1

v = .131 cm

.131 * 12 = 1.572 cm^3

60/19.32 = approx. 3 cm^3

there’s enough gold to make the cones
