\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{5}{2} }

To begin, we can simplify the expression's denominator by finding a common denominator between the denominators of the fractions in the denominator.  To make them compatible, we can convert \frac{5}{2} into \frac{10}{4}:

\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{5}{2}( \frac{2}{2}) } = \frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{10}{4} }

Next, we can simplify:

\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{10}{4} } = \frac{4}{ -\frac{9}{4}}

Finally, to cancel the denominator within the denominator, we can multiply the whole expression by \frac{4}{4}, or 1:

\frac{4}{ -\frac{9}{4}}* \frac{4}{4} =  -\frac{16}{9}

The expression simplifies to -\frac{16}{9}, or -1 \frac{7}{9} as a mixed number.

The step by step simplification is shown below.

\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4}-\frac{5}{2}}  \\  \\ 
= \frac{4}{ \frac{1-2(5)}{4}  }  \\  \\ 
= \frac{4}{ \frac{-9}{4} } \\  \\ 
=4* \frac{-4}{9}  \\  \\ 
= - \frac{16}{9}

Therefore the answer is -16/9

the radius of a cylindrical construction pipe is 2.5 ft. if the pipe is 21 ft long, what is its volume? use the value 3.14 for p
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: The volume of the pipe is 412 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Volume of a cylinder = π x radius² x height (Length in this case)

Replacing with the values given:

V = 3.14 (2.5)² 21 = 3.4 (6.25) 21 = 412.12 = 412 cubic feet  (rounded)

In conclusion, the volume of the pipe is 412 cubic feet

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
