Mathematics

Answer: 2.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

A paint can is assumed to be a cylindrical shape. The formula for volume of a cylinder is V = Pi * r^2 * h

The volume is 500 mL, which we are told is 30.512 cubic inches


The problem says we can approximate Pi to be 3.14


The height is 6 in


So we need to solve for diameter of the base. In order to do that, solve for the radius first, and since d = 2r, just double the value of the radius


After plugging in what we know to the formula, we get
30.512 in^3 = 3.14 * r^2 * 6 in

30.512 in^3 / (3.14 * 6 in) = r^2

1.619533 in^2(rounded) = r^2

(1.619533 in^2)^(1/2) = l r l

1.272609 in (rounded) = r

Note: on the above step, we can immediately reject the negative solution, because a radius cannot be negative

Now that we have the radius, we simply double it to find the diameter

d = 2r

d = 2 * 1.272609

d = 2.545218


Since the question asked for the diameter rounded to the nearest tenth, the final answer is diameter = 2.5 in

2x - 3y = 6
To find the x-intercept, plug zero in for y and solve.
2x - 3(0) = 6
2x = 6
divide both sides by 2
x = 3

Answer:

Read the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

When multiplying and dividing more than two positive and negative numbers, use the Even-Odd Rule: Count the number of negative signs — if you have an even number of negatives, the result is positive, but if you have an odd number of negatives, the result is negative. This problem has just one negative sign
