The volume of the cylindrical pot is calculated using the formula $V = \pi r^2 h$, where $r$ is the radius and $h$ is the height. Substituting the given values, $V = 3.14 \times 6^2 \times 7 = 791.28$ cubic inches. Dividing this by the volume of a can (10 cubic inches) gives $791.28 / 10 = 79.128$. Since you can't have a fraction of a can, the pot can hold 79 full cans of soup.
