Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

This can be done as a proportion. A proportion is 2 equal ratios. If you know three parts of the proportion then you can solve for the 4th.

Proportion

31 wrecks/1085 cars = 7 wrecks / x cars

Solution

31 wrecks/1085 cars = 7 wrecks / x cars        Cross Multiply

31 * x = 1085 * 7                                                Simplify the right

31 * x = 7595                                                     Divide both sides by 31

31 * x/31 = 7595/31

x = 245

Answer 7 wrecks means 245 cars have passed the intersection

The radii of Earth and Pluto are 6,371 kilometers and 1,161 kilometers, respectively. Approximately how many spheres the size of
antoniya [11.8K]
The volume of a sphere is (4/3) (pi) (radius cubed).

The volume of one sphere divided by the volume of another one is

 (4/3) (pi) (radius-A)³ / (4/3) (pi) (radius-B)³

Divide top and bottom by (4/3) (pi) and you have     (radius-A)³ / (radius-B)³
and that's exactly the same as
                                                         ( radius-A / radius-B )  cubed.

I went through all of that to show you that the ratio of the volumes of two spheres
is the cube of the ratio of their radii.

Earth radius = 6,371 km
Pluto radius = 1,161 km

Ratio of their radii = (6,371 km) / (1,161 km)

Ratio of their volumes =  ( 6,371 / 1,161 ) cubed = about <u>165.2</u>

Note: 
I don't like the language of the question where it asks "How many spheres...".
This seems to be asking how many solid cue balls the size of Pluto could be
packed into a shell the size of the Earth, and that's not a simple solution.
The solution I have here is simply the ratio of volumes ... how many Plutos
can fit into a hollow Earth if the Plutos are melted and poured into the shell.
That's a different question, and a lot easier than dealing with solid cue balls.

15 less than twice a number g is 19. Find g.
Helga [31]

Answer:

<h2>g = 17</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

15 less than twice a number g is 19

2g - 15 = 19      <em>add 15 to both sides</em>

2g - 15 + 15 = 19 + 15

2g = 34       <em>divdie both sides by 2</em>

2g : 2 = 34 : 2

g = 17
