Question

The barrel of a fountain pen, cylindrical in shape, is 7 cm long and 5 mm in diameter. A full barrel of ink in the pen will be used up when writing 310 words on an average. How many words would use up a bottle of ink containing one fifth of litre?

hintHint:

We find the capacity of the pen barrel, and then find the number of words accordingly.

The correct answer is: The required number of words is 45091.


    Explanations:
    Step 1 of 2:
    Given, length of the barrel = height of barrel, h  = 7cm
    Base radius of the barrel, r = 5/2 mm = 2.5 mm = 0.25cm (since 1cm = 10mm)
    Capacity of the barrel = volume of the barrel
    equals pi r squared h
    equals pi left parenthesis 0.25 right parenthesis squared cross times 7
    equals 1.375 cm3
    So, 310 words use up 1.375 cm3 of ink.
    Step 2 of 2:
    1/5th of  litre  = 1/51000cm3 = 200cm3
    Now, 1.375cm3 of ink is used up by 310 words
    therefore 200cm3 of ink will be used up by fraction numerator 310 over denominator 1.375 end fraction cross times 200 = 45090.9 almost equal to 45091 words
    Final Answer:
    The required number of words is 45091.
