Using proportions, the amount of money that Sam would need each month to pay his bills is of:

b. at least $425.32.

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

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, his annual social security benefit is of 42% of $37,991, hence:

A = 0.42 x 37991 = $15,956.22.

Hence the monthly amount is given by:

M = 15956.22/12 = $1,329.68

He needs $1,755 monthly, hence the amount he needs is of at least:

An = 1755 - 1329.68 = $425.32.

Which means that option b is correct.

A cylindrical plastic pipe’s length is 12 cm and it’s radius is 2.5 cm. To the nearest tenth, what is the volume of the pipe?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

V = 235.6 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the volume of a cylinder of radius r and length h is

V = πr²h.  

Here, r = 2.5 cm and h = 12 cm, so the volume is:

V = π(2.5 cm)²(12 cm) = 75π cm³

To the nearest tenth, this volume would be V = 235.6 cm³

Look online for the growth of the trunk of a tree. Estimate how much time does it take for a water oak to grow one inch in diame
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Explained

Step-by-step explanation:

The trunk of a tree grows in two different ways, first in height and second in diameter.Usually tree grows one ring per year in diameter. So, counting the number of rings we can determine the age of a tree. Both height and diameter growth does not occur at the same rate. Tree grows more in height than in their diameter. Mature trees usually grows 1 inch in diameter every year.

Water oak gains 24 inches in height  every year and  1.5 inch growth in diameter annually, meaning if we divide 1.5 inches by 12 months we gets 0.125 inches growth monthly. So a water oak tree needs only 8 months to grow 1 inch in diameter.
