Let the number of cones that can be filled with ice cream be n.

Then we can write :             

The volume of a cylinder containing ice cream  =  n ( volume of 1 ice cream cone )

                                                 \\\pi r^2_{cy}h_{cy}\ =\ n\left ( \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2_{co}h_{co}\ +\ \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \right )\\\\\pi\times 6^2\times 15\ =\ n\left ( \frac{1}{3}\times \pi \times 3^2 \times 12\ +\ \frac{2}{3} \pi \times 3^3 \right )\\\\n\ =\ \frac{36\times 15}{54}\\\\n=\ 10

Hence the number of cones that can be filled is 10.
