two years ago the water in a local reservoir fell 8 3/4 feet then it rose 4 3/5 how much did it change

2 answers:

8 0

To find the change, we need to subtract.

8 3/4 - 4 3/5

We need a common denominator to find the answer.

3*5/4*5 = 15/20

8 15/20

3*4/5*4 = 12/20

4 12/20

Now we can properly subtract

8-4=4

15-12
-------- =
20

3/20

Now we have our final answer: 4 3/20

The change : 4 3/20

WORK:
8 3/4 = 8 15/20
4 3/5 = 4 12/20

8 15/20 - 4 12/20 = 4 3/20

ANSWER:
4 3/20

Find the volume of a cylinder with diameter 8 inches and height 9 1/2 inches

marta [7]

Answer:

$V=152\pi in^{2}$ in terms or pi

$V=477.52in^{2}$ simplified

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we are using the Cylinder's volume formula:

$V=\pi r^{2} h$

where

$V$ is the volume of the cylinder

$r$ is the radius of the cylinder

Remember that radius is half the diameter, so we can divide the diameter of our cylinder by 2 to find its radius: $r=\frac{d}{2} =\frac{8in}{2} =4in$ . Now, 9 1/2 inches is 9 and a half inches, so $h=9.5in$ .
