A cylindrical container has a volume of 226 cubic inches. the container is filled 3/4 of the way with water. To the nearest cubic inch, what is the volume of water in the container? How many more cubic inches of water is needed to fill the container? please explain.

(3/4) * 226 = 678/4 = 169.5 = 170 cubic inches

226 - 170 = ?

To find the volume of water in the container, we need to multiply the total volume of the container by 3/4, since it is filled 3/4 of the way.

Step 1: Calculate the volume of water in the container.
Let's denote the volume of the cylindrical container as V. It is given that V = 226 cubic inches.
The volume of water in the container (V_water) is found by multiplying V by 3/4:
V_water = V * (3/4)

Step 2: Calculate how many more cubic inches of water are needed to fill the container.
To find the amount of additional water needed to fill the container completely, we subtract V_water from V.

Extra water needed = V - V_water

Now, let's calculate the volume of water and the additional water needed.

Step 3: Calculate the volume of water in the container.
V_water = V * (3/4)
V_water = 226 * (3/4)
V_water = 678 / 4
V_water ≈ 169.5

Therefore, the volume of water in the container, to the nearest cubic inch, is approximately 169 cubic inches.

Step 4: Calculate how many more cubic inches of water are needed to fill the container.
Extra water needed = V - V_water
Extra water needed = 226 - 169
Extra water needed = 57

Therefore, approximately 57 more cubic inches of water are needed to fill the container completely.

To find the volume of water in the container, we need to know the total volume of the container when it is filled to 100%. We are given that the total volume of the container is 226 cubic inches.

Since the container is filled 3/4 of the way with water, we can calculate the volume of water by multiplying the total volume by 3/4:

Volume of water = (3/4) * 226 cubic inches

To calculate this, we can use the following steps:
Step 1: Multiply the numerator (3) by the total volume (226):
3 * 226 = 678

Step 2: Divide the result by the denominator (4):
678 / 4 = 169.5

However, since we need the answer rounded to the nearest cubic inch, we round 169.5 to the nearest whole number, which is 170.

Therefore, the volume of water in the container, to the nearest cubic inch, is 170 cubic inches.

To find out how many more cubic inches of water are needed to fill the container completely, we subtract the volume of water we already have from the total volume of the container:

Additional volume needed = Total volume - Volume of water

Additional volume needed = 226 - 170 = 56 cubic inches

Hence, to fill the container completely, we need an additional 56 cubic inches of water.
