    What is the volume of the crushed ice?

    volume of the cone = π r² h/3

    volume of the small cone = 3.14 * (3in) ² * 3in/3

    volume of the small cone = 3.14 * 9in² * 1in

    volume of the small cone = 28.26 in³

    volume of the big cone = 3.14 * (3in) ² * 15in/3

    volume of the big cone = 3.14 * 9in² * 5in

    volume of the big cone = 141.30 in³

    volume of the crushed ice = 141.30 in³ - 28.26 in³ = 113.04 in³
