The answer is 1,695.6 in³.
The volume of the empty space is the difference of the bigger cylinder and the smaller cylinder: V = V1 - V2
The volume of the bigger cylinder is:
V1 = π r² h
r = 10 in
h = 15 in
π = 3.14
V1 = 3.14 * 10² * 15 = 4,710 in³
The volume of the smaller cylinder is:
V2 = π r² h
r = 8 in
h = 15 in
π = 3.14
V2 = 3.14 * 8² * 15 = 3,014.4 in³
The volume of the empty space is:
V = V1 - V2 = 4,710 in³ - 3,014.4 in³ = 1,695.6 in³
The question is actually a financial banking question if it is about his check and how much it was worth statistics would be a couple of other things into a group and ranked. Financial is money.
A direct proportion is any equation where y = mx+b. (i.e., a linear equation)
Each side of 3y = 1/2x can be divided by 3 to get y = 1/6x, satisfying the condition of y = mx+b. (b=0)
In this case, the constant of proportionality would be 1/6.
