1) A furlong is 1/8 of a mile. What part of a mile is 6 furlongs?

3/4 of a mile

Step-by-step explanation:

1 furlong = 1/8 mile

   

6 forlongs = x

cross multiply

1*x = 6 * (1/8)

x = 6/8

reduce 6/8. Divide top and bottom by 2

x = 3/4

Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown below.

Calculate the volume of the empty cone.
V₁ = (1/3)π*(6 in)²*(10 in) = 120π in³

Calculate the volume of the sphere.
V₂ = (4/3)π*(1.5 in)³ = 4.5π in³

The volume that can be filled with flavored ice is 
V = V₁ - V₂ = 115.5π in³ = 362.85 in³

Th volume is 115.5π in³ or 362.9 in³ (nearest tenth)
