Answer:

2.625 pounds are left or 2 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

So if your going to be subtracting a fraction from a whole number your going to have to consider the fact that the whole number can be divided up into that fraction.

So in this equation we are subtracting 2 3/8 from 5, we are going to take one from 5 and make it into a fraction so we can subtract:

5 = 4 8/8

Now we subtract 2 3/8 from 4 8/8

4 8/8 - 2 3/8 = 2 5/8

so there's your answer 2 5/8 pounds are left over, but if you wanted the answer in a decimal you would divide 5 by 8:

5/8 = 0.625

you then add 0.625 to 2:

2 + 0.625 = 2.625

And that is also your answer: 2.625 lbs. were left over.

Multiply all terms by 15
3x+3x= 10x+30

Combine like terms
6x=10x+30

Subtract 10x from both sides
-4x=30

Divide both sides by -4
x= -7.5

Final answer: -7.5

Jake made a wooden cone with a diameter of 6 inches and a height of 4.5 inches. What is the volume of this cone?
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

42.42in³

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a cone

Step one

We know that the volume of a cone is

V= 1/3πr²h

Given data

Diameter d= 6 inches

Radius r= diameter/2= 6/2= 3 inches

Height h = 4.5 inches

Step two

Substituting our given data we have

Volume = 1/3*3.142*3²*4.5

V= 1/3*3.142*9*4.5

V= 127.251/3

V= 42.42in³

24h out of 36  24/36 GCF is 12 divide to and bottom by 12
24 / 12 is 2   36 / 12 is 3  2/3    Shane worked for 2/3 of 36h
Percentage: 100% / 3 (because there is 3 parts)= 33.333333333333 
33.33333333333 x 2 (because it is there is 2 parts needed) = 66.6666666666%
Shane has worked for 66.6666666666% of 36 hours
 
 Andrew:
 4 x 6 = 24 
Hey did you realise, the 24 is exactly the same! So the fraction would still be 2/3 of 36, and so on, there percentage is still the same, it's still 66.6666666666%
