A conical glass standing point downwards is filled with juice to exactly half its depth. What fraction of the glass's full capacity is the juice?

Competition practiceAreas & Volumes
  • A1/2
  • B1/8
  • C1/4
  • D1/6

Step-by-Step Solution

The juice forms a small cone similar to the whole glass with half its height, so every length in it is halved and its volume is of the full capacity. Half depth is far from half full — the glass is widest at the top, where the missing juice would sit. (1/2 assumes volume follows depth directly; 1/4 uses the square, which belongs to areas; 1/6 has no basis in the similar-solids rule.)
Answer: B) 1/8
