The answer would be .80 or it may be 1
Volume of a cylinder is h x r^2 x pi
You have the volume and radius of each one, so taking 188.4=(2)^2 x 3.14 x h1, you can solve this equation for the height h1. Likewise, for the other graduated cylinder you take 314=2^2 x 3.14 x h2, and then solve for h2.
To get the difference in heights, just take h2-h1 after solving the equations for h2 and h1
I think it is 1/8 I'm not sure.
Any expression has many equivalents. For something like this, it is often convenient just to make use of the distributive property.
= (-1/2)*(-3y) +(-1/2)*(10)
= (3/2)y -5
Another equivalent has a common denominator
= (3y -10)/2
