9.
On a sunny Saturday, Gerallt sold 400 ice creams in total in 4 hours in the 2 shops.
Gerallt is considering opening another ice cream shop.
He expects the sales per hour in each of the 3 shops to be the same.
His ice cream shops will be open for 5 hours a day.
Calculate how many ice creams Gerallt would expect to sell in total on a sunny Saturday in 5 hours in the 3 shops.
You must show all your working. [3]
He has designed his new ice cream shop to look like half an ice cream cone.
The design consists of half a hollow cone connected to half a hollow hemisphere, as shown below.

Diagrams not drawn to scale
The radius of the base of the half hemisphere is 3 m.
The perpendicular height of the cone is shown as \(h\) on the diagram above.
Gerallt designed the shop so that the volume of the half cone is equal to the volume of the half hemisphere.
Calculate the length \(x\). Give your answer in the form \(a\sqrt{b}\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are both integers and \(b\) is as small as possible. [8]
From the formula list: Volume of sphere \(= \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\); Volume of cone \(= \dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h\)
