\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}

Keith_Richards [23]
Given:
Big cone     : diameter = 12 cm ; height = 18 cm ; base = 14 cm
Small cone: diameter = 12 cm ; height = 6 cm ; base = 14 cm

Volume of a cone-shaped container = π r² h/3
Big cone:
V = 3.14 * (6cm)² * 18cm/3
V = 3.14 * 36cm² * 6cm
<span>V = 678.24 cm³

</span>Small cone:
V = 3.14 * (6cm)² * 6cm/3
V = 3.14 * 36cm² * 2cm
<span>V = 226.08 cm³

</span>Big cone - small cone = volume of water
678.24 cm³ - 226.08 cm³ = 452.16 cm³
