Answer:
Fraction of bread used in the recipe is 3/12 which can be further simplified into 1/4

Explanation:
The original loaf of bread is 100% complete (no fraction is taken from it yet). This means that the value of the original loaf is 12/12

Now, assume that the fraction used in the recipe is x

We know that:
2/12 of the loaf was used in making a sandwich
7/12 of the oaf was put in the refrigerator

Therefore:
complete loaf = fraction used in making a sandwich + fraction used in making recipe + fraction put in refrigerator
12/12 = x + 2/12 + 7/12
12/12 = x + 9/12
x = 12/12 - 9/12
x = 3/12 

Hope this helps :)

\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\
V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height\\
-----\\
r=2.4\\
V=35
\end{cases}\implies 35=\cfrac{\pi (2.4)^2 h}{3}\implies 105=5.76\pi h
\\\\\\
\cfrac{105}{5.76\pi }=h\implies 5.805467091295 \approx h\implies 5.81 \approx h
