Answer: 1/3 and -1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer to the first question: 7/10ths of a mile
Explaination: When adding fractions, you need to have a common denominator. Since dividing 3/10 by 2 to get a denominator of 5 makes 3 a decimal, it's easier to multiply 2/5 by 2 to get a denominator of 10. You do the same to the top that you do to the bottom:
. From there, just add 4/10 and 3/10 to get the answer: 7/10ths of a mile.
Answer to the second question: Daniel read three (3/10) more books
Explaination: Since you can't evenly multiply 5 or 2 to get the opposite number, it's easier to multiply to the lowest common multiple. The easiest way to find that is to multiply both denominators (5*2=10). You'll have to multiply the numerator by the same amount you multipled the denominator by. For Daniel, that would mean:
. For Edgar, that would mean:
. So, Daniel read 3 more books than Edgar.
Answer to the third question: 2/4 mile (or 1/2 a mile)
Explaination: 2/8 can be simplified, by dividing the top and bottom by 2, resulting in 1/4. Since both fractions have the same denominator (/4), you can add them to get 2/4ths. This can be simplified further to half (1/2) a mile.
Where is the figureeeee??
Answer:
42.42in³
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a cone
Step one
We know that the volume of a cone is
V= 1/3πr²h
Given data
Diameter d= 6 inches
Radius r= diameter/2= 6/2= 3 inches
Height h = 4.5 inches
Step two
Substituting our given data we have
Volume = 1/3*3.142*3²*4.5
V= 1/3*3.142*9*4.5
V= 127.251/3
V= 42.42in³
