How are mixed numbers used in The real world

1 answer:

3 0

Often, mixed number are used in terms of amounts of something. You would never say I have 16/5 pies. You would say I have 3 full pies and 1/5 of another pie.

In this example, 3 1/5 is better to use than the improper 16/5

Hope this helps!

Six pyramids are shown inside of a cube. The height of the cube is h units. Six identical square pyramids can fill the same volu

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

(A)The height of each pyramid is One-half h units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the Cube = h units

Volume of the Cube $=h^3 $ cubic units$

If Base of the cube =Base of the square pyramid

Base of the square pyramid = h units

$\text{Volume of a Pyramid}=\dfrac{1}{3}*Base Area*Height$

$\text{Volume of One Pyramid}=\dfrac{1}{3}*h^2*Height$

$\text{Volume of Six Pyramids}=6*\dfrac{1}{3}*h^2*Height\\=(2h^2*Height)\:cubic\:units$

Since Volume of the Cube = Volume of Six Square Pyramids

Then:

$2h^2*Height=h^3\\Height=\dfrac{h^3}{2h^2} \\$Height of each pyramid =\dfrac{1}{2}h \:Units$

blsea [12.9K]

2 litres every 2.5 minutes is 4 litres every 5 minutes so therefore, it is 0.8 litres/minute (800ml per minutes)
