You’re job is to fill a bucket, one cup at a time.  
You can’t let it overflow, but you want to stop 
when the next cup of water will make it overflow. 
If you stop at the right time…5 extra points

The problem is worth 25 points.  For each cup of water that you could have added without making it overflow or each cup of water that was over what you needed, you will lose 1 point. 

 Team Members: _______________________________ 

1.  Calculate the volume of the bucket (use cm as your measurement of choice)_________ cubic cm.

2.  Calculate the volume of the cup:  ____________cubic cm

3.  How many cups of water will you need to fill it to the top without having it overflow? _________

4.  Come to me and test your geometry.

      Error:   _______ little cups
