A tank in the shape of a cylinder with a diameter of 2.4 m and height 6.4 m contains oil up to the brim. Find the number of complete smaller cylindrical containers, each with a base radius of 8.2 cm and height 28 cm, that can be completely filled using the oil from the tank?

A. 4895
B. 92160
C. 4795
D. 4761
Correct Answer: A. 4895

To determine the number of smaller containers that can be filled, we must calculate the volume of both the large tank and the small containers, ensuring consistent units.

  • Large Tank: Diameter = 2.4 m = 240 cm, so Radius (R) = 120 cm. Height (H) = 6.4 m = 640 cm. Volume = ฯ€ * Rยฒ * H = ฯ€ * (120)ยฒ * 640 = 9216000ฯ€ cmยณ.
  • Small Container: Radius (r) = 8.2 cm. Height (h) = 28 cm. Volume = ฯ€ * rยฒ * h = ฯ€ * (8.2)ยฒ * 28 = 1882.72ฯ€ cmยณ.
  • Number of Containers: Divide the large tank's volume by the small container's volume: (9216000ฯ€) / (1882.72ฯ€) โ‰ˆ 4895.19.

Since only complete containers can be filled, the answer is 4895. The 'mยณ' unit in the option is a mislabeling, as the question asks for a count.
