He's using the graduated cylinder method. I think the volume might be between 15 and 20. (It's kind of not obvious...)
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
The centipede that Maria measured was 1 1/12 inches long. If you convert this to an improper fraction it is equal to 13/12 inches. Now to find how much longer Maria's centipede was than Jeromes, you just take 11/12 and minus it from 13/12 which is equal to 2/12 of an inch, which then simplifies to 1/6 of an inch.
8 x 1 = 8
8 x 1/2 = 4
8+4 =12
therefore, 8 x 1 1/2 = 12
There are several information's already given in the question. It is very important to look at the attached diagram very closely. The angle given in the question is 73 degrees.
Then
x = 180 - 73
= 107 degrees
I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and the answer has actually come to your desired help.
