Given diameter of the cylindrical glass, d = 7 cm
Radius, r = d/2 = 7/2 = 3.5 cm
Height of the cylindrical glass, h = 12 cm
Volume of the cylindrical glass, V = r2h
= (22/7)×3.52×12
= 462 cm3
Number of students = 1600
Milk needed for 1600 students = 1600×462
= 739200 cm3
= 739.2 litres [∵1000 cm3 = 1 litre]
Hence the amount of milk needed to serve 1600 students is 739.2 litres.
