Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

4/7 of x

(4/7) × x

4x/7

As stated in the question:

x=4x/7+18

=x-4x/7=18

=(7x-4x)/7=18

=3x/7=18

3x= 18×17

3x= 126

x=126/3

x=42

Your friend's swimming pool is in the shape of a rectangular prism, with a length of 25 feet, a width of 8 feet, and a height of

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Part a) $V=1,000\ ft^{3}$

Part b) $h=5\ ft$

Part c) $=718\ gal$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) What is the volume of your friend's swimming pool?

we know that

The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to

$V=LWH$

substitute the values

$V=(25)(8)(5)=1,000\ ft^{3}$

Part b) Your swimming pool is in the shape of a cylinder with a diameter of 16 feet and has the same volume as your friend's pool. What is the height of your pool?

we know that

The volume of a cylinder is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2} h$

we have

$V=1,000\ ft^{3}$

$r=16/2=8\ ft$ ----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute and solve for h

$1,000=\pi (8)^{2} h$

$h=1,000/(64 \pi)$

$h=1,000/(64*3.14)=5\ ft$

Part c) While you were on vacation, 6 inches of water evaporated from your pool. About how many gallons of water evaporated from your pool?

remember that

$1\ ft=12\ in$

$6\ in=6/12=0.5\ ft$

Find the volume of water for $h=5-0.5=4.5\ ft$

$V=(3.14)(8)^{2}(4.5)=904.32\ ft^{3}$

the volume of water evaporated is equal to

$1,000\ ft^{3}-904.32\ ft^{3}=95.68\ ft^{3}$

convert to gallons

remember that

$1\ ft^{3}=7.5\ gal$

$95.68\ ft^{3}=95.68*7.5=718\ gal$
