A soup can has a radius of 4.3 cm and a height of 11.6 cm. What is the volume of the soup can to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter

Volume of a cylinder is:

V = B H

where

H is height of a cylinder

B is surface area of the base of a cylinder (base has shape of circle):

B = D^2 pi / 4

V = D^2 H pi / 4

H = 4 V / (D^2 pi)

H = 4 x 342 / (6^2 x pi) = 38 / pi

If we calculate with value pi = 3.14, then

H = 38 / pi = 38 / 3.14 = 12.10cm

If the distance between the shelves is exactly 36 cm, number of soup cans that can be stacked is:

36 / 12.10 = 2.975

We need a closest integer (whole number) that is smaller that this result, so the answer is:

Two cans can be stacked.
