1. 7/9 - 3/8 = (7·8 - 9·3)/(9·8) = (56 -27)/72 = 29/72

2. (5 4/5) - (2 1/4) = (5 - 2) + (4/5 - 1/4) = 3 + (4·4 -5·1)/(5·4) = 3 11/20

_____

(a/b) -(c/d) = (ad -bc)/(bd) . . . . a useful formula to remember when working problems like this. It is equivalent to multiplying the first fraction by d/d and the second one by b/b to get a common denominator of bd. Of course if the second fraction is added instead of subtracted, the sign changes in both places.

shepuryov [24]
Volume of a cylinder = π · radius(r)² · height(h)

Since you didn't provide the radius or the height, I am unable to provide a solution to this problem but hopefully you can solve it on your own now that you have the formula.

What is 16+x=12 and -3x=15
horrorfan [7]
-4 and -5
because to get 16 to 12 you have to subtract 4 but it wants you to add so you put a negative sign infront of it.

and a negative multiply by a negative equals a positive so -3×-5=15
