Given:
large cylinder: height = 3 ft ; diameter = 2 ft
cylinrical cup: height = 1/2 ft ; diameter = 1/4 ft

Volume of a cylinder = π r² h

large cylinder volume = 3.14 (1ft)² 3ft = 3.14 1ft² 3ft = 9.42 ft³

cylindrical cup volume = 3.14 (0.125ft)² 1/2 ft = 3.14 0.015625ft² 0.5ft =  0.0245 ft³

9.42 ft³ ÷ 0.0245ft³ = 384.489 cups
