Answer:

0.8 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Ounces are typically used to measure liquid, so I would discourage choosing the top two. And, hopefully you know by now that an orange does not weigh 8 pounds.

Answer:

  (a)  0.8 ounces (most precision)

  (b)  8 ounces (best precision for likely weight of an orange)

Step-by-step explanation:

The most precision is obtained by using the smallest unit of measure. On this list, the smallest unit of measure is a tenth of an ounce. That is, the measure 0.8 ounces has the most precision.

__

It is unlikely that the weight of one orange will be 0.8 ounces. The smallest unit used in a measurement likely to correspond to the weight of an orange is 1 ounce, used in the measurement 8 ounces. That measurement has better precision than 0.8 pounds, because 0.1 pounds corresponds to 1.6 ounces.

5).
and
6).
The volume of a sphere is

               (4/3) (pi) (radius)³ .

In #5, the 'pi' is already there next to the answer window.
You just have to come up with the (4/3)(radius³).

Remember that the radius = 1/2 of the diameter.

7).  The volume of a cylinder is

                         (pi) (radius²) (height) .

Divide the juice in the container by the volume of one can,
to get the number of cans he can fill.

8).  The volume of a cone is

                     (1/3) (pi) (radius of the round bottom)² (height) .

He starts with a small cone, he then adds clay to it to make it higher.
The question is:  How much clay does he ADD to the short one,
to make the bigger one ?

Use the formula to find the volume of the short one.
Use the formula again to find the volume of the bigger one.
Then SUBTRACT the smaller volume from the bigger volume.
THAT's how much clay he has to ADD.

Notice that the new built-up cone has the same radius
but more height than the first cone.
_______________________________________

Don't worry if you don't understand this.

The answer will be this number:

 (1/3) (pi) (radius²) (height of the big one minus height of the small one).
