Calculus! First one I've seen here! Take the derivative of the volume of a cube. Volume is V = s^3, dV = 3s^2 ds when s = 10 and ds = 3. I think you used x. Anyway, in the derivative fill in the s with a 10 and the ds (rate of change) is 3. So dV = 3(10)^2 * 3 dV = 600 cm per second
You would add the 2 fractions. Since 2/16 equals 1/8 you could add 1/8 plus 4/8. That will give you 5/8. After all that you subtract 5/8 from 8/8, which will give you 3/8.
