Which is better to buy 14 rolls of paper towels for $18

Mathematics

In order to find out what deal is better:

We have to find the unit rate for each deal

Total amount of paper towels ÷ The price

So it would be....

18 ÷ 14 = 1.285714
12 ÷ 10 = 1.2

Short Answer:

The better deal is 10 rolls of paper towels for $12.

Long Answer:

I wanted to find out the price per roll of paper towel for each deal so I created a unit rate problem which is the numerator divided by the denominator. From there, I was able to get my answers, compare which one was less than the other, and select the best deal.

Hopefully this helped >-<

What is the volume of the composite figure? (Round to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 for x.)

marshall27 [118]

The volume of the composite figure is the third option 385.17 cubic centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The composite figure consists of a cone and a half-sphere on top.

We will have to calculate the volumes of the cone and the half-sphere separately and then add them to obtain the total volume.

Step 2:

The volume of a cone is determined by multiplying $\frac{1}{3}$ with π, the square of the radius (r²) and height (h). Here we substitute π as 3.1415.

The radius is 4 cm and the height is 15 cm.

The volume of the cone :

$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h = \frac{1}{3} (3.1415)(4^{2} )(15) = 251.32$ cubic cm.

Step 3:

The area of a half-sphere is half of a full sphere.

The volume of a sphere is given by multiplying $\frac{4}{3}$ with π and the cube of the radius (r³).

Here the radius is 4 cm. We take π as 3.1415.

The volume of a full sphere $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} = \frac{4}{3} (3.1415) (4^{3}) = 268.07$ cubic cm.

The volume of the half-sphere $=\frac{1}{2} (268.07) = 134.037$ cubic cm.

Step 4:

The total volume = The volume of the cone + The volume of the half sphere,

The total volume $251.32+134.037 = 385.357$ cub cm. This is closest to the third option 385.17 cubic centimeters.

Isaiah And Cooper work at a dry cleaner Ironing shirts.isaiah can iron 25 shirts per hour, and Cooper can iron 30 shirts per hou

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

340/25 = 13.6 = 13 hours and 10 min

30 x 13.6 = 408 hours

25x+30y= 340 and y=2x can be used to determine the number of hours cooper worked and the number of hours isaiah worked. Where x Isaiah 's working hours and y is cooper's working hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Isaiah ironing rate per hour = 25 shirts

Cooper ironing rate per hour = 30 shirts

Total shirts pressed = 340

Let,

Isaiah´s number of hours = x

Cooper's number of hours = y

According to given statement;

25x+30y=340 Eqn 1

Hudson worked twice many hours as grace.

y = 2x Eqn 2
