Answer:

4.75 or round up to 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

if each pie has 8 slices, then you must do 8+8+8... and so on until u reach 38. However you wont get exactly 38 because 8 doesn't add up evenly into 38. You can find the exact number by divding the amount of people, 38, by the number of slices per pie, 8. The answer will be 4.75 but you can not buy a fraction of a pie so you must round up to 5 whole pies. There will be extra left over in the end, but you cant round down because 4 pies would not be enough, so you must buy 5.

A cube with 2 inch sides is placed on a cube with 3 inch sides. Then a cube with 1 inch sides is placed on the 2 inch cube. What
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

let's try the "Divide and Conquer" method, that is we break down the problem into pieces and solve each piece until we arrive at the answer.

the formula for the surface area of the cube is:

SA = 6s^2; s is the length of one side of the cube

for the 3-inch cube

SA = 6(3^2)

SA = 6(9)

SA = 54 in^2

note however, that the actual surface area is less the area occupied by the 2-inch cube place on the 3-inch cube, which is

A = s^2; since this is a square

A = 2^2

A = 4 in^2

the actual SA (aSA) therefore of the 3-inch cube is

aSA = 54 - 4 = 50 in^2

for the 2-inch cube

SA = 6s^2

SA = 6(2^2)

SA = 6(4)

SA = 24 in^2

to solve for the actual SA of the 2-inch cube, we subtract the area which is in contact with the 3-inch cube and the 1-inch cube

aSA = 24 - 2^2 - 1^2

aSA = 24 - 4 - 1

aSA = 19 in^2

for the 1-inch cube

SA = 6s^2

SA = 6(1^2)

SA = 6 in^2

the actual surface area is less the area in contact with the 2-inch cube

aSA = 6 - 1^2

aSA = 5 in^2

the surface area of the three cube tower will just be the sum of the aSA of the three cubes

SA = 50 + 19 + 5

SA = 74 in^2   ans

A stock has had returns of 11 percent, 18 percent, 20 percent, −13 percent, 25 percent, and −9 percent over the last six years.
Naily [24]

Answer: a) 8.67%, b) 7.64%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Stock has returns is given by

11 percent, 18 percent, 20 percent, −13 percent, 25 percent, and −9 percent

Number of years = 6

Arithmetic average returns for the stock is given by

\dfrac{11+18+20-13+25-9}{6}\\\\=8.67\%

Geometric average returns for the stock is given by

[(1+0.11)\times (1+0.18)\times (1+0.20)\times (1-0.13)\times (1+0.25)\times (1-0.09)]^{\frac{1}{6}}-1\\\\=[1.11\times 1.18\times 1.20\times 0.87\times 1.25\times 0.91]^{\frac{1}{6}}-1\\\\=7.64\%

Hence, a) 8.67%, b) 7.64%.

tester [92]

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

10 hours           x hours

-------------- = -------------

15 logs            9 logs

Using cross products

90 = 15x

Divide by 15

90/15 = 15x/15

6 = x

6 hours

Solve for x 3x-1=9x+2
ANEK [815]
3x - 1 = 9x + 2

3x (-3x) - 1 (-2) = 9x (-3x) + 2 (-2)

-3 = 6x

-3/6 = 6x/6

-1/2 = x
