Let the 4-passenger cars be represented with F

Let the 6-passenger cars be represented with S

Rocket Coaster has 15 cars

So that F + S = 15 ----- Equation 1

Also, we were told that the total room for 72 passenger

so that 4F + 6S = 72 ----- Equation 2

Solving the two equations simultaneously using the substitution method,

Step 1

From equation 1:

Make F the subject of the formula

F = 15 - S ---- Equation 3

Step 2

substitute equation 3 into equation 2

4 (15 - S) + 6S = 72

Step 3

60 - 4S + 6S = 72

6S - 4S = 72 - 60

2S = 12

divide both sides by 2

S = 12/ 2

S= 6

Step 4

Substitute the value of S = 6 into equation 3

F = 15 - 6

F = 9

So the number of 4-passenger cars = 9

the number of 6-passenger cars = 6

iren2701 [21]

Think through this one...

9:48 + 9 minutes = 9:57

9:57 + 30 minutes = 10:27

10:27 + 3 hours = 1:27 p.m.

A cone has radius 9 and height 12. A frustum of this cone has height 4.
Rom4ik [11]

The radii of the frustrum bases is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached below, ABC represents the cone cross-section while the BCDE represents frustum cross-section

As given in the figure radius and height of the cone are 9 and 12 respectively

Similarly, the height of the frustum is 4

Hence the height of the complete cone= 4+12= 16 (height of frustum+ height of cone)

We can see that ΔABC is similar to ΔADE

Using the similarity theorem

AC/AE=BC/DE

Substituting the values  

12/16=9/DE

∴ DE= 16*9/12= 12

Hence the radii of the frustum is 12
