A jar contains 8 4/9 pounds of jam. If Sam eats 3 2/5 pounds of the jam, how many pounds of jam remains in the jar?

1 answer:

5 0

$\bf 8\frac{4}{9}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot 9+4}{9}\implies \cfrac{76}{9}
\\\\\\
3\frac{2}{5}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 5+2}{5}\implies \cfrac{17}{5}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{76}{9}-\cfrac{17}{5}\impliedby \textit{let's use an LCD of 45}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 76-9\cdot 17}{45}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{380-153}{45}\implies \cfrac{227}{45}\implies \boxed{5\frac{2}{45}}
\\\\\\
5\frac{2}{45}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 45+2}{45}\implies \cfrac{227}{45}$

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the side length of the base is

irina [24]

The volume of the pyramid is 167.6 cube inch (approx).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Each length (l) of the base of the pyramid = 8.3 in

Height(h) of the pyramid = 7.3 in

To find the volume of the pyramid.

Formula

Volume of the pyramid = $\frac{1}{3}$ ×area of the base×height

Area of the base = l²

Now,

The volume of the pyramid = $\frac{1}{3}$ ×l²×h

= $\frac{1}{3}$ ×8.3²×7.3 cube inch = 167.6 cube inch (approx)
