Answer:

There are 15 girls in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 36 students in Mrs Keaton's sixth grade class.

If $\frac{5}{12}$ fraction of the class are girls then we have to calculate the number of girls in the class.

Since number of girls in the class = $\frac{5}{12}$ of 36

= $\frac{5}{12}\times 36$

= 5×3

= 15 girls

Therefore, number of girls in the class is 15.

Which best explain |-4|=4

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

your finding the absolute value, I I this means absolute value which means if its negative it automatically is its own number you get rid of the negative sign if it's positive just keep it because it's already in it's normal number.

For example: I -4 I = 4

For example: I -5 I = 5

For example: I 3/4 I = 3/4

For example: I 3 I = 3

For example: I 4 I = 4

If k space plus space 9 over 2 equals 3 over 2, what is the value of k?

ankoles [38]

k = - 3

given k + $\frac{9}{2}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$

subtract $\frac{9}{2}$ from both sides of the equation

k = $\frac{3}{2}$ - $\frac{9}{2}$ = - $\frac{6}{2}$ = - 3

Please someone help!!!!!!

Finger [1]

This is an isosceles triangle because the 2 base angles are equal and therefore the 2 sides MN and ML are equal also.
So 3x = x + 10
2x = 10
x = 5

Length of MN = 5 + 10 = 15 Answer

You are choosing between two mugs. One has a base that is 5.5 inches in diameter and a height of 3 inches. The other has a base

zysi [14]

Mug 2 can hold the most as its volume is greater than that of mug 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out which mug holds more let us find the volume of each mug

As we know

Height of first mug =H1= 3 in

Diameter of first mug= D1= 5.5 in

Radius of first mug = R1= $\frac{5.5}{2}$

= 2.75 in

The volume of first mug M1 is V1

The formula used will be

V=πr2h

V1 will be equal to

$V1=\pi r_{1} 2 h_{1} \\V1= \pi (2.75) (2) (3)\\V1= 51.81$

V1 = 51.81

Similarly

As we know

Height of second mug = H2= 4 in

Diameter of second mug = D2 = 4.5 in

Radius of second mug = R2= $\frac{4.5}{2}$

= 2.25 in

The volume of second mug M2 is V2

the formula used will be

V=πr2h

V2 will be equal to

$V2= \pi r_{2} 2h_{2} \\V2 = \pi (2.25)(2)(4)\\V2 = 56.52$

V2 = 56.52

So as V2(56.52) is greater than V1(51.81) so mug 2 can hold the most
