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)
Accepted Solution
A:
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.Β
To do this, we must divide 342 by 0.134
342/134Β
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.
