Let the height of level of milk in the cylinder = h
Since , volumne of milk is constant .
Therefore
4*9*10 = $$\pi$$* 3^2 * h
=> $$\pi$$ * h = 40
=> h = 40/ ($$\pi$$ )

[quote="Bunuel"]Milk is poured from a full rectangular container with dimensions 4 inches by 9 inches by 10 inches into a cylindrical container with a diameter of 6 inches. If the milk does not overflow, how many inches high will the milk reach?

Volume of rectangular container = 4*9*10=360

Volume of cylinder = pi*3^2*h

set the two volumes equal to each other

h=360/9pi
=40/pi

C. $$\frac{40}{\pi}$$

if the milk do not overflow then volume of rectangular box should be >= volume of cylinder
r = 6/2 = 3
4*9*10 = Pi*3*3*h
h = 40/pi

Ans: C
