A barrel of crude oil contains 5.61 cubic feet of oil. How many barrels of oil are contained in 1 mile (5280 feet) of a pipeline

that has an inside diameter of 6 inches and is completely filled with oil? How much is "1 mile" of oil in this pipeline worth at a price of $100 per barrel?

Considering the volume of a cylinder, we have that:

  • There are 185 barrels of oil in the pipeline.
  • One mile of oil is worth $18,500.

<h3>What is the volume of a cylinder?</h3>

The volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is given as follows:

V = \pi r^2h

Considering that the radius is half the diameter, and that each inch has 0.0833 feet, the parameters in feet for this problem are given as follows:

r = 0.25, h = 5280.

Hence the volume in cubic feet is:

V = 3.14 x (0.25)² x 5280 = 1036.2 feet³.

The number of barrels in this pipeline, considering the volume of a single barrel, is given as follows:

1036.2/5.61 = 185 barrels.

The worth of 1 mile of oil, considering the price of $100 per barrel, is given by:

185 x 100 = $18,500.

One mile of oil is worth $18,500.

erika needs a test average of 85 or higher to make the honor roll there are four tests in the term her first three test grades 7
jenyasd209 [6]

First, notice that we want the average to be 85 or higher. We can write this like this:

\mu\ge85

where mu is the average.

We know that there are four tests, and there are already three grades: 78,80 and 88. Then if we calculate the mean we have:

\begin{gathered} \mu=\frac{78+80+88+x}{4}=\frac{x+246}{4} \\ \Rightarrow\mu=\frac{x+246}{4} \end{gathered}

but we already know that the average must be greater or equal than 85, then, combining both expressions we get the following:

\begin{gathered} 85\le\mu=\frac{x+246}{4} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{x+246}{4}\ge85 \end{gathered}

solving the inequality for x, we get:

\begin{gathered} \frac{x+246}{4}\ge85 \\ \Rightarrow x+246\ge85\cdot4=340 \\ \Rightarrow x\ge340-246=94 \\ x\ge94 \end{gathered}

therefore, Erika needs a score of 94 or higher in order to make the honor roll

Please please please help me out
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

D)  9:20 am

Step-by-step explanation:

Train A's route = 20 mins

Train B's route = 80 mins

80 ÷ 20 = 4

Therefore, Train B's route is 4 times the length of Train A's route.

Therefore, the time Train A and B will leave the station at the same time will be the first time Train B leaves after 8am.

1 hour = 60 minutes

8am + 80 minutes = 8am + 1 hr + 20 minutes = 9:20 am

Can somebody please help me find the volume of this triangular prism?
Bas_tet [7]

Check the picture below.

the volume of the prism will simply be the product of the triangular area and its length, it has a length of 8, thus

\bf \stackrel{\textit{area of a triangle}}{A=\cfrac{1}{2}bh}~~ \begin{cases} b=9\\ h=6 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{1}{2}(9)(6)\implies A=27 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{volume of the triangular prism}}{V=27\cdot 8}\implies V=216
