You would have to divide 25 by 4. You would get 6.25. That means that Melinda can babysit for 6 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 πr²h
Given
diameter (d) = 8ft
radius (r) = d/2 = 8/2 = 4 ft
height (h) = 3 ft
Volume of cone



=50.24 ft³
substitute x for y-1
2(y-1)-y=6 distribute
2y-2-y=6 subtract y in 2y
y-2=6 add 2 to get y by itself
y=8
Put y back into equation x=y-1
x=8-1
X=7
Nine more than a variable "a".
