Answer 1

Answer: 24times

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the volume of a cylinder                         = πr²h

Volume of the cone                                                      = 1/3πr²h

Therefore the volume of the cylinder               = 22/7 x 10² x 20

                                                                     = 22/7 x 10 x 10 x 20

                                                                                = 6285.71cm³

Therefore , the volume of the cone             = 1/3 x 22/7 x 5² x 10

                                                                     = 1/3 x 22/7 x 5 x 5 10

                                                                                  = 5500/21

                                                                                  = 261.9cm³

Therefore the number of times needed to use the completely filled cone to completely filled the cylinder with water                                                                                                                       = 6285.71/261.9

                                                                                = 24times.
