Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to solve for c (find the value of c) in 15=\frac{3}{8}c-18

To do that, isolate 1c (also written as c) on one side.

We can add 18 to both sides to remove it from the right side

15=\frac{3}{8}c-18

+18    +18

_______________

33=\frac{3}{8}c

You want to know how to solve an equation where the coefficient of a term is a fraction

Remember that we want to find the value of 1c.

Multiplying a fraction by its reciprocal (the 'flipped' version of that fraction) will give 1.

For example, multiplying \frac{2}{5} by \frac{5}{2} (the reciprocal of \frac{2}{5}) will give:

\frac{2}{5} * \frac{5}{2}=\frac{10}{10}=1

So therefore, we should multiply both sides by the reciprocal of \frac{3}{8}, which would be \frac{8}{3}

Therefore,

\frac{8}{3} * 33=\frac{3}{8}c * \frac{8}{3}

Multiply

\frac{264}{3}=\frac{24}{24}c

Simplify the fractions

88=c

Hope this helps!

The radius of the large sphere is double the radius of the small sphere. How many times is the volume of the large sphere than t
kobusy [5.1K]

The volume of a sphere is \cfrac{4}{3}\ \pi r^3

So, if the small sphere has radius r and the largest sphere has radius 2r, their volumes are

V_1 = \cfrac{4}{3}\ \pi r^3,\quad V_2 = \cfrac{4}{3}\ \pi (2r)^3 = \cfrac{4}{3}\ \pi 8r^3

So, their ratio is

\cfrac{V_2}{V_1} = \cfrac{\frac{4}{3}\ \pi 8r^3}{\frac{4}{3}\ \pi r^3} = 8
