[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the volume of the cone-shaped flower vase, we use the formula:

V = (1/3)πr^2h

where:
V = volume
r = radius = 5 inches
h = height = 15 inches
π = 3.14

Plugging in the values:

V = (1/3)(3.14)(5^2)(15)
V = (1/3)(3.14)(25)(15)
V = (1/3)(3.14)(375)
V = (1/3)(1177.5)
V = 392.5 cubic inches

Therefore, the hanging flower vase can hold 392.5 cubic inches of water. The correct answer is:

392.5 cubic inches
