Answer:
2 13/14 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The remaining length is the difference between the starting length and the amount cut off:
5 3/7 - 2 1/2 = (5 -2) +(3/7 -1/2) = 3 +((3·2-7·1)/(7·2)) = 3 -1/14
= 2 13/14 . . . feet remaining

Addition and subtraction of fractions can be accomplished using a formula that does not rely on finding a least common denominator. In this case, the denominators have no common factors, so their product is, in fact, the least common denominator.

Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cylinder is:
where is the radius and
is the height.
The height is 4 inches greater that the radius, so:
Substituting this in the formula for volume:
the volume is
thus:
Dividing everything between pi:
We can see that the solution for this is
since
We have the radius, now we find the height:
Answer:
The correct option is (A).
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) of 19 or more years older men is:
Here,
AGE = age counted in years
PA = appropriate physical activity factor
WT = weight in kilograms
HT = height in meters
The physical activity factor for men and women is:
Activity Level PA (men) PA (Women)
Sedentary 1.00 1.00
Low 1.11 1.12
Active 1.25 1.27
Very Active 1.48 1.45
Given:
AGE = 22 year-old male college student
PA = low = 1.11
WT = 180 pounds = 81.6466 kg
HT = 5'10" = 1.778 m
Compute the value of EER as follows:
Thus, the EER for a 22-year-old male college student is approximately 2962 kcal.
The correct option is (A).
