The world largest ice cream cake built in New York City on May 25th 2004 was approximately 19 ft by 9 ft by 2 ft rectangular prism. estimate the volume of the ice cream cake in gallons.if the density of the ice cream was 4.37 pounds per gallon estimate the weight of the cake.(Hint: 1 gallon = 0.134 cubic feet)
Question
Answer:
Hello there!Volume = Length * Width *Height
Let's plug in the numbers we were given
Volume = 19 * 9 * 2
This means that our volum is 342 feet^3
But, now we need to convert this to gallons.
To do this, we must divide 342 by 0.134
342/134
This would mean that our volume is 2,552.2 gallons
Now, we must find the weight of the cake using the density: 4.37 pounds per gallon.
Well, we know that we have 2,552.2 gallons
This means we must multiply 2,552.2 by 4.37
This would give us 11,153.1
This means tat the cake weighs 11,153.1 pounds
So:
Volume = 2,552.2 gallons
Weight = 11,153.1 pounds
I hope I helped!
