Question

A grain silo is approximately 85% full. A 55 lb sack of grain measures 2 cubic feet.



What is the best estimate of the number of bags of grain that can be filled using all the grain in the silo? So which one is correct, A, B, C, or D?

Answer 1

Answer:

It would be 2010

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Total number of bags contain = 1708 bags.

Given:

A grain silo is approximately 85% full.

A 55 lb sack of grain measures 2 cubic feet.

To find:

What is the best estimate of the number of bags of grain that can be filled using all the grain in the silo.

Formula used:

Volume of cylinder = $\frac{\pi }{4}$ × (Diameter)²×height

Volume of cone = $\frac{1}{3}$ × $\frac{\pi }{4}$ × (Diameter)²×height

Explanation:

Dimensions of cylinder, Diameter = 16ft

                                       Height = 16ft

Volume of cylinder = $\frac{\pi }{4}$ × (Diameter)²×height

Volume of cylinder = $\frac{\pi }{4}$ × (16)²×16

Volume of cylinder = 3216.99 ft³

Dimensions of cone,  Diameter = 16ft

                                       Height = 12ft

Volume of cone = $\frac{1}{3}$ × $\frac{\pi }{4}$ × (Diameter)²×height

Volume of cone = $\frac{1}{3}$ × $\frac{\pi }{4}$ × (16)²×12

                           = 804.247 ft³

Total volume of grain silo = 3216.99 + 804.247 = 4021.23 ft³

A grain silo is approximately 85% full.

So the volume of grain silo which contain bags = 0.85 × 4021.23 ft³

                                                                               = 3418 ft³

A 55 lb sack of grain measures 2 cubic feet.

So total number of bags contain = $\frac{3418}{2}$ = 1708 bags

1)The volume of cone is 30cm3 then the volume of cylinder having same base and same height.
