Jennifer says that you can also write (12-3) X 2 for the phrase 12- (3x2) is she correct? Explain why or why not

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: She isn't correct.

(12-3)*2 basically gives:

9*2 (Dealing with the bracket first)

Answers please! I’m finding the volume and i don’t really get it

MrRa [10]

Answer:

V = 13/2

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding volume you must know the formula on doing so.

<em>Volume = length × width × height</em>

length = $2\frac{1}{2}$ --> $\frac{5}{2}$

width = $2\frac{1}{2}$ --> $\frac{5}{2}$

height = $3\frac{1}{4}$ --> $\frac{13}{4}$

<u>mixed number --> fraction</u>

$V = \frac{5}{2} x \frac{5}{2} x \frac{13}{4}$

$V = \frac{25}{4} x \frac{13}{4}$

$V = \frac{325}{8}$ or $\frac{13}{2}$
