<h2><u>Answer: 1/12</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation: 2/3 / 8/1 is actually multiplying the first number by the reciprocal of the second. So 2/3 x 1/8. That equals 0.08333... or 1/12.

A cylinder is placed within a cube. The diameter of the cylinder is equal to the length of each side of the cube. What is the vo

The volume of a shape is the amount of space in it.

<em>The volume outside the cylinder, but inside the cube is 214.6 cubic inches</em>

The given parameter is:

$l = 10$ ---- length of the cube

So, the volume of the cube is:

$V_1 = l^3$

$V_1 = 10^3$

$V_1 = 1000$

The volume of the cylinder is:

$V_2 = \pi r^2h$

The diameter (d) of the cylinder equals the length of the cube.

This means that:

$d = l$

$d = 10$

Divide by 2 to calculate the radius of the cylinder

$r = \frac{10}{2}$

$r = 5$

Also, the height of the cube is::

$h =l$

$h =10$

So, we have:

$V_2 = \pi r^2h$

$V_2 = \pi \times 5^2 \times 10$

$V_2 = \pi \times 25 \times 10$

$V_2 = \pi \times 250$

$V_2 = 785.4$

So, the volume (V) outside the cylinder is:

$V = V_1 - V_2$

$V = 1000 - 785.4$

$V = 214.6$

Hence, the volume outside the cylinder is 214.6 cubic inches

Is each line parallel, perpendicular, or neither parallel nor perpendicular to a line whose slope is 2/5?

Gnesinka [82]

Parallel: line p with slope 2/5
Perpendicular: line n with slope -5/2
the other two would be neither.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

There are 1.25 days in 30 hours or 1 1/4 days in 30 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know one day is 24 hours. So if we divide 30 hours by 24 hours (or one whole day) then we get 1.25 days or also known as 1 1/4 days
