Answer:

  28

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the smaller of the two factors of 896 that have the ratio 8:7.

<h3>Setup</h3>

Let x represent the smaller of the two factors (the one we want to find). Then the larger factor is (8/7)x, and their product is ...

  x(8/7)x = 896

  (8/7)x² = 896

<h3>Solution</h3>

Multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of x², we have ...

  x² = (7/8)(896) = 784

  x = √784 = 28 . . . . . . . . take square root

The smaller of the two numbers is 28.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The larger is (8/7)(28) = 32.

Profit:p=r-c;solve for c
eduard
If you would like to solve p = r - c for c, you can do this using the following steps:

p = r - c         /+c
p + c = r - c + c
p + c = r       /-p
p + c - p = r - p
c = r - p

The correct result would be c = r - p.

Aleks [24]

Answer:

Volume of a cone is V = (1/3) of (pi)(radius^2)(height)

So (3.14)(36)(9) = 1017.36

Then divide by three.

1017.36 / 3 = 339.12

<u>V = 339.12</u>

Please I'm so stuck :( I'm entirely thankful
velikii [3]

Using the lines that you have both read and white values:

Divide the red by the white:

16 / 10 = 1.6

40 / 25 = 1.6

The scale factor is 1.6.

So you have 1.6 L red paint / L white paint

Now multiply the amount of white paint by 1.6 to find the amount of red paint:

4 x 1.6 = 6.4

13 x 1.6 = 20.8

20 x 1.6 = 32
