Using proportions, it is found that the thickness of the icing between the layers, in inches, is of:

E 1 inch

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

In this problem, there are six layers, each measuring 1.25 inches tall, hence the height of these layers is:

6 x 1.25 = 7.5 inches

Then the height of the icing between the layers is of:

13.5 - 7.5 = 6 inches

Six layers, hence each icing is of:

6/6 = 1 inch

Estimate 19.164 - 9.53 by first rounding each number to the nearest tenth.
Lina20 [59]
19.164 can be rounded to 19.2. That is because 0.164 is closer to 0.2 than it is to 0.1

9.53 rounded the the nearest tenth is 9.5 because 0.53 is closer to 0.5 than it is to 0.6.

19.2 - 9.5 = 9.7

Your answer is 9.7
