The dairy farmer would mix 1120 pounds of 75% protein supplement and 280 pounds of 50% protein ration to make 1400 pounds of a high grade 70% protein ration.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let x represent the amount of 75% protein supplement and y represent the amount of 50% protein, hence:

x + y = 1400 (1)

Also:

0.75x + 0.5y = 0.7(1400) (2)

Hence:

x = 1120, y = 280

The dairy farmer would mix 1120 pounds of 75% protein supplement and 280 pounds of 50% protein ration to make 1400 pounds of a high grade 70% protein ration.

A sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 21m. what is the volume of the sphere.

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The volume of the sphere is 14m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume of the cylinder = $21m^3$

Required

Volume of the sphere

Given that the volume of the cylinder is 21, the first step is to solve for the radius of the cylinder;

<em>Using the volume formula of a cylinder</em>

The formula goes thus

$V = \pi r^2h$

Substitute 21 for V; this gives

$21 = \pi r^2h$

Divide both sides by h

$\frac{21}{h} = \frac{\pi r^2h}{h}$

$\frac{21}{h} = \pi r^2$

The next step is to solve for the volume of the sphere using the following formula;

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

Divide both sides by r

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{4}{3r}\pi r^3$

Expand Expression

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^2$

Substitute $\frac{21}{h} = \pi r^2$

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{21}{h}$

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{84}{3h}$

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{28}{h}$

Multiply both sided by r

$r * \frac{V}{r} = \frac{28}{h} * r$

$V = \frac{28r}{h}$ ------ equation 1

From the question, we were given that the height of the cylinder and the sphere have equal value;

This implies that the height of the cylinder equals the diameter of the sphere. In other words

$h = D$ , where D represents diameter of the sphere

Recall that $D = 2r$

So, $h = D = 2r$

$h = 2r$

Substitute 2r for h in equation 1

$V = \frac{28r}{2r}$

$V = \frac{28}{2}$

$V = 14$

Hence, the volume of the sphere is 14m³
