Question

javier is grounded and has to stay in his room all day. he made up a game where he throws folded-up paper called a \trashball\ into his trash can. the diameter of the top of the trash can is 18 in. javier wants the \trashball\ to have a diameter that is \\(\frac{1}{9}\\) the diameter of the top of the trash can. \
what should the diameter of javiers \trashball\ be? \\( d = \square \\) in

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the given diameter

The diameter of the trash can top is 18 in.

Step2: Calculate the "trashball" diameter

We need to find $\frac{1}{9}$ of 18 in. So we calculate $18\times\frac{1}{9}$.
$18\times\frac{1}{9}=\frac{18}{9} = 2$
