He can make 3 batches of soup.
Starting with 10 pounds of tomatoes and taking out the number of pounds he sets aside for spaghetti sauce, 2.8, we have:
10-2.8 = 7.2 pounds left.
0.2 is read as "two tenths," so 7.2 = 7 2/10
We divide this remaining number of pounds by 2 2/5 for each batch of soup:
7 2/10 ÷ 2 2/5
Convert each to an improper fraction:
72/10 ÷ 12/5
Multiply by the reciprocal:
72/10 × 5/12 = 360/120 = 3
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
First, the formula for the volume of a sphere is:




![r = \sqrt[\leftroot{-2}\uproot{2}3]{\frac{3}{4\pi}V}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B%5Cleftroot%7B-2%7D%5Cuproot%7B2%7D3%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%5Cpi%7DV%7D)

F(x) = 4(5) - 2 → f(x) = 20 - 2 → f(x) = 18
