There are 8 rows of chairs in the auditorium. Three of the rows are empty. What fraction of the rows are empty?

1 answer:

6 0

3 rows out of a total of 8 being empty means a fraction of 3/8 are empty.

This is because the denominator is the total. The total in this case is 8 rows.
The numerator is the number of these rows that are empty. In this case, this is 3 rows.

So the answer is 3/8 of the rows are empty.

How many cubic meters of material are there in a conical pile of dirt that has radius 9 meters and height 6 meters 6 meters? Us

alisha [4.7K]

To find the volume of a cone, you use the formula $\pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3}$ .
Radius squared would be 36 in our case and 36 times 3.14 is 113.04. 6 thirds is also two, so multiply that by two and you would get 113.04 x 2 = 226.08. So, your answer would be 226.08 cubic meters of dirt.
