Answer:

Kevin is going to be able to have enough money for the concert the fastest

Philip needs at least 4 weeks

Kevin needs at least 3 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Philip</u>

  • $8.75/hour * 6 hours/weekend * 1 weekend/week = $52.5/week
  • $45 saved

Let's call x to the number of weeks Philip needs to reach $225.

52.5*x + 45 = 225

52.5*x = 225 - 45

x = 180/52.5

x = 3.43

He needs at least 4 weeks

<u>Kevin</u>

  • 3 hours/day * $7.5/hour *3 days/week = $67.5/week
  • $30 saved

Let's call y to the number of weeks Kevin needs to reach $225.

67.5*y + 30 = 225

67.5*y = 225 - 30

y = 195/67.5

y = 2.9

He needs at least 3 weeks

Answer:

y =   \frac{ - 3x + 6}{2}  =  \\ x = 4 \\ y =  \frac{ - 3 \times 4 + 6}{2}  =  \frac{ - 12 + 6}{2}  =   \frac{ - 6}{2}  =  - 3

A cone shaped paper water cup has a height of 12 cm and a radius of 6 cm. If the cup is filled with water to half its height, wh
monitta

Answer:

The portion of the volume of the cup that is filled with water is \frac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the paper water cup

The volume of the cone is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h

we have

r=6\ cm

h=12\ cm

substitute

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (6)^{2}(12)

V=144\pi\ cm^{3}

step 2

If the cup is filled with water to half its height, find out what portion of the volume of the cup is filled with water

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

In this problem the similar cone has half the height of the complete cone

so

The scale factor is equal to 1/2

therefore

The volume of the cup that is filled with water is equal to the volume of the complete cup by the scale factor elevated to the cube

V=(1/2)^{3}(144\pi)=(1/8)144\pi\ cm^{3}

therefore

The portion of the volume of the cup that is filled with water is

\frac{1}{8}

Find the product.
4vir4ik [10]
Answer :

6{y}^{4} {z}^{2} + 12 {y}^{3} {z}^{2}-3 {y}^{3} {z}+3 {y}^{2} {z}^{2}

Step-by-step explanation :

To find the product of

3 {y}^{2} z(2 {y}^{2} z + 4yz - y + z)

First we expand the bracket ,

it implies that, we use the expression outside the bracket to multiply individual expressions inside the bracket.

Hence

3 {y}^{2} z(2 {y}^{2} z + 4yz - y + z)

= 3 {y}^{2} z(2 {y}^{2} z) + 3 {y}^{2} z(4yz) - 3 {y}^{2} z(y )+3 {y}^{2} z( z)

we now apply the law of indices

{a}^{m} \times {a}^{n} = {a}^{m+n}

meaning, when you are multiplying two expressions with the same bases , repeat one of the bases and add the exponents.

Then, simplify to obtain

= 6{y}^{4} {z}^{2} + 12 {y}^{3} {z}^{2}-3{y}^{3} {z}+3 {y}^{2} {z}^{2}
