They are left with 0.51 pounds of clay.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount of clay bought = 3.8 pounds

Amount used by Martha = \frac{1}{4}\ of\ clay

Amount used by Martha = \frac{1}{4}*3.8=0.95\ pounds

Amount left after Martha's use= Total amount - amount used by Martha

Amount left = 3.8 - 0.95 = 2.85 pounds

Amount used by Scott = \frac{2}{5}\ of\ amount\ left

Amount used by Scott = \frac{2}{5}*2.85=\frac{5.70}{5}

Amount used by Scott = 1.14 pounds

Amount left after Scott's use = Amount left after Martha's - Amount used by Scott

Amount left after Scott's use = 2.85 - 1.14 = 1.71 pounds

Amount used by Alison = 1.2 pounds

Amount left = Amount left after Scott's use - Amount used by Alison

Amount left = 1.71 - 1.2 = 0.51 pounds

They are left with 0.51 pounds of clay.

A solid cylinder of iron whose diameter is 18 cm and height 12 cm is melted and turned into a solid sphere. Find the diameter of
finlep [7]

Answer:

Diameter of sphere = 18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Volume of Cylinder and Sphere:</h2><h3> Cylinder:</h3>

     Diameter = 18 cm

                  r = 18÷ 2 = 9 cm

                 h = 12 cm

\sf \boxed{\bf Volume \ of \ cylinder = \pi r^2h}

                                    = π * 9 * 9 * 12 cm³

<h3>Sphere:</h3>

  \sf \boxed{\text{\bf Volume of sphere = $\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3$}}

Solid cylinder is melted and turned into a solid sphere.

Volume of sphere = volume of cylinder

 \sf \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \pi *9*9*12

      \sf r^{3}= \dfrac{\pi *9*9*12*3}{4*\pi }\\\\  r^{3}=9 * 9 *3 *3\\\\\\r = \sqrt[3]{9*9*9}\\\\ r = 9 \ cm\\\\diameter = 9*2\\\\\boxed{diameter \ of \  sphere = 18 \ cm}
