Hey there!

"One half of a number" will be a number (x) divided by 2. This can also be shown as "0.5x" or "1/2x", whichever you prefer. 

"...decreased by 16" will be "– 16", making your full equation 0.5x – 16. Remember that terms like remainder, difference, and fewer will always mean subtraction. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

1/2x-16 is an equation that can be used to represent this. The 1/2x represents the one half of a number and the -16 represents the decreased by 16.

Propane is stored in a cylindrical tank with a diameter of 15 inches and a height of 48 inches. Which equation could be used to
Virty [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

remember. the radius is always half the diameter.

volume of a cylinder

pi × r² × height

pi×7.5²×48 = pi×56.25×48 = 8,482.300165... in³

volume of a sphere

4/3 × pi × r³

and that volume should be the same as the cylinder. so,

4/3 × pi × r³ = pi×56.25×48

4/3 × r³ = 56.25 × 48

1/3 × r³ = 56.25 × 12

r³ = 56.25 × 36 = 7.5² × 6² = (7.5×6)² = 45² = 2025

r =  \sqrt[3]{2025}

which would be 12.65148998... in.

Solve the equation for the indicated variable S=2πrh+2πr²<br> Solve for h
valina [46]

Answer:

Good luck :)

Step-by-step explanation:

S=2πrh+2πr ²

subtract 2πr ² from each side

S -2πr ² = 2πrh

divide by 2πr from each side

(S -2πr ² )/ 2πr  = h
