with butter and syrupconsumed in 6 minutes 58.5 seconds 1. how high a stack would that be
2. about how fast are they consumedper minute & per second

Hi. 1) 62 times .375. 2) Find the seconds (6 times 60 plus 58.5) divided by 62. 3) Plug answer 1 into the formula for a cylinder. 4) The pancakes get compressed, some go into the throat. It's called gurgitation!

1. 62*3/8 = 186/8 = 93/4 = 23 1/4 inches
2. 58.5 seconds = 58.5/60 minutes = 0.975 minutes
62 pancakes in 6.975 minutes = 62/6.975 = 8.9 pancakes per minute.
6 minutes = 306 seconds
62 pancakes in 364.5 seconds = 0.17 pancake per second.
3. Volume = pi*3^2 * 23.25 = 657.4 cubic inches
4. Pancakes are not solid so they can be packed and wadded into a smaller volume.

1) 23.25 inches tall (approximately....they never stack completely flat)
2) 6.75 seconds each
3) 657.378 cubic inches (approximately)
4) The average human stomach is 125 cubic inches....some are larger, some are smaller.
