It is expected the height of the melted wax in this shape is 9.57 inches, this height would make the volume remain constant.

<h3>What is the volume of the spherical ball?</h3>

The volume of a sphere can be calculated using the formula V = 4/3 πr³. Let's use this formula to calculate the volume of the spherical ball of wax:

  • V = 4/3 π8³
  • V = 4/3 π 512
  • V= 4/3 x 3.1416 x 512
  • V =2144.66 cubic inches

<h3>What is the height of the new shape?</h3>

Considering the volume should be the same  (2144.66 cubic inches) and the volume of this shape can be calculated by multiplying the sides, this would be the equation:

  • 2144.66 = 14 x 16 x y ( unknown value)
  • y= 2144.66 / 14 x 16
  • y = 9.57

This means the height would be 9.57 inches.

The cost C (in dollars) to participate in a ski club is given by the literal equation C=85x+60, where X=C/85-12/17 is the number
dybincka [34]

Given:

The cost C (in dollars) to participate in a ski club is given by,

\begin{gathered} C=85x+60 \\ (or) \\ x=\frac{C}{85}-\frac{12}{17} \end{gathered}

Where x is the number of ski trips we take.

To find:

The number of ski trips when a total cost of $315 and $485 is spent.

Explanation:

Substituting C = 315 in the given equation we get,

\begin{gathered} x=\frac{315}{85}-\frac{12}{17} \\ x=\frac{315-60}{85} \\ x=\frac{255}{85} \\ x=3\text{ ski trips} \end{gathered}

Substituting C = 485 in the given equation we get,

\begin{gathered} x=\frac{485}{85}-\frac{12}{17} \\ x=\frac{485-60}{85} \\ x=\frac{425}{85} \\ x=5\text{ ski trips} \end{gathered}

Thus,

If we spend a total cost of $315, we can take 3 ski trips.

If we spend a total cost of $485, we can take 5 ski trips.

Final answer:

• If we spend a total cost of $315, we can take 3 ski trips.

,

• If we spend a total cost of $485, we can take 5 ski trips.
