A patient in a hospital is given soup daily in a cylindrical bowl of diameter 7 cm. If the bowl is filled with soup to a height of 4 cm, how much soup the hospital has to prepare daily to serve 250 patients?

Solution
Diameter = 7 cm
therefore    Radius (r) = 7 over 2 space cm
Height (h) = 4 cm
therefore  Volume of soup in the cylindrical bowl = πr squared straight h
                equals 22 over 7 cross times open parentheses 7 over 2 close parentheses squared cross times 4 space cm cubed
equals space 154 space cm cubed

Volume of soup to be prepared daily to serve 250 patients
= 154 x 250 cm3 = 38500 cm3 (or 38.5l)
Hence, the hospital has to prepare 38500 cm3 (or 38.5l) of soup daily to serve 250 patients.
