Answer:
Suppose you have a fair coin: this means it has a 50% chance of landing heads up and a 50% chance of landing tails up. Suppose you flip it three times and these flips are independent. What is the probability that it lands heads up, then tails up, then heads up? So the answer is 1/8, or 12.5%.
Find the area of the top, which is a circle.
Area of a circle = pi x r^2
Area = 3.14 x 1.5^2 = 7.065
Now for the volume multiply the area of the top by the height:
7.065 x 12 = 84.78 cubic inches
Round to the nearest tenth: 84.8 cubic inches
12/16, 7/16, 10/16 (not simplified, just with LCD);The LCD of the 3 fractions is 16 (from denominators) so all we have to do is multiply both the numerator by the same number that multiplies with the denominators to get 16. We leave 7/16 alone since it already has denominator of 16.
3/4 * 4 = 12/16
5/8 * 2 = 10/16
