Answer:
The volume of water in the vase is 
Step-by-step explanation:
A cylinder vase has a height, h, of 10 inches and its diameter of 3 inches. This means that its radius, r, is:
r = 3 / 2 = 1.5 inches
To find the volume of the water in the vase if the water raises to 9/10 of the way to the top, we first have to find the volume of the vase when it is filled with water and then, find 9/10 of that volume.
The volume of a cylinder is given as:

The volume of the vase will be:

Hence, the volume of the water in the vase when it is 9/10 filled is:

Approximating to the nearest cubic inch, the volume of water in the vase is 
Answer:
For this expression, a = 3, b = 6, and c = 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
mechanic #1's rate = x
mechanic #2's rate = y
* Their rate is dollars per hour ($/hr)
mechanic #1 worked for 20 hours (hr × $/hr = $)
20x = money earned by mech#1
and mechanic #2 worked for 5 hours
5y = money earned by mech#2
together they charged a total of $1150. So the amount of money earned by both mechanics.
20x + 5y = 1150
the sum of the two rates was $95 per hour.
x + y = 95
which means
x = 95 - y
plug (95 - y) in for "x" in the other equation to get everything in terms of one variable.
20(95 - y) + 5y = 1150
solve for y
1900 - 20y + 5y = 1150
1900 - 15y = 1150
-15y = 1150 - 1900
-15y = -750
y = -750/-15
y = 50 $/hr
Now use this to solve for x
x + y = 95
x + 50 = 95
x = 95 - 50
x = 45 $/hr
mech#1 charged 45$/hr
mech #2 charged 50$/hr
