It means that -5 is the range of your answer, it will be less than that.

It means exactly what it says. It means that x can be negative five at the MOST, but it can also be any number before that. If you were writing this for an equation it would be x is greater than or equal to five. I hope this helps you :)

A right cylinder ice cream cone has 600 cubic centimeters of ice cream, what is the radius of the cone of the height is 15 centi

choli [55]

The formula for volume is V=Bh where B is the area of the base.
plug in what they have given you:
600=B(15) you can divide both sides by 15

40=B We know that a cylinder's base is a circle so we can use the area f formula for a circle to solve for the radius.
40 = pi(r)^2 divide both sides by pi to get the r^2 alone
40/pi=r^2 square root both sides to get rid of the square
you should get
r=3.5 approximately

Felipe bought 3/4 of a pound of American cheese at the deli. She used 1/2 of the cheese to make sandwiches. How much cheese did

seraphim [82]

She used 3/8 of the cheese. Since she used 1/2 <em>of</em> 3/4, you multiply 3/4 times 1/2. If you multiply straight across, the answer should be 3/8. If you need further explanation, just ask! Hope this helps! =D :D
