A cylindrical container with 6 meters diameter and a height of 8 meters is filled to capacity with water. If the water is then used to fill several smaller cylinders (2 meters radius and 5 meters height), how many smaller cylinders can be filled to capacity before the larger cylinder becomes empty? Choose the correct option:	A) 5	B) 4	C) 3	D) 2	E) 1
Calculate the volume of the larger cylinder and divide it by the volume of the smaller cylinder.   volume of cylinder =πr2h   larger cylinder volume=226.19   smaller cylinder volume=62.83   therefore the number of smaller cylinders can be filled to capacity=226.19/62.83=3.6   Answer is 3 only 3 smaller cylinders can be filled to capacity.
