7 1/5:
Multiply the denominator and the whole number: 7*5 = 35 and then add the numerator: 35+1= 36/5. Then, do this for the following fraction, the improper fraction value of 2 2/15 is 32/15.
Now we need 36/5 & 32/15 to have common denominators so that we can simplify it a little less complicated.

For Instance,

36/5*3= 108/15

Now we divide, (108/15)/(32/15)
108/32= 3.375 = 3 3/8

Answer is 3 3/8.

Hope this was easy to understand!

Your answer would be y= 5x/-4 - 3/-4 because you’ll move 5x to the other side of the equal sign then divide -4 to get y by itself

A can of tuna fish is a cylinder with a height of 1.75 inches and a diameter of 3 inches. If the can is half full, how many cubi

zlopas [31]

Answer: $6.185in^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the volume of a cylinder is:

$V_{cylinder}=\pi r^2h$

r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder.

Given the diameter of 3 inches, calculate the radius of the cylinder with:

$r=\frac{d}{2}$ (Where d is the diameter)

$r=\frac{3in}{2}=1.5in$

Knowing the height and the radius, you can calculate the volume of the entire can of tuna:

$V_{can}=\pi (1.5)^2(1.75in)=12.37in^3$

As you want to know the cubic inches of tuna that are in the can (volume of tuna), and you know that the can is half full, then:

$V_{tuna}=\frac{V_{can}}{2}\\\\V_{tuna}=\frac{12.37in^3}{2}\\\\V_{tuna}=6.185in^3$
