Theresa and Angel are debating whether snow cones or ice cream cones are a greater value. One snow cone can be purchased for the same price as one ice cream cone, but Angel argues that the snow cone is better since it has a greater density than the ice cream cone. Both cones have a radius of 1.5 inches and a height of 33 inches, and the snow cone and ice cream cone weigh 44 ounces and 66 ounces, respectively. Assuming that the cones are filled precisely with no overflow, is Angel correct? Explain, rounding values to the nearest tenth of an ounce per cubic inch.
