This is a ratio problem. You only need solve the ratio of the sand. 

 <u> 48 </u> <u />  =  <u>  n  </u>   <u />  
    1        156

(48)(156) = 1(n)   (cross multiplying)<span> 
</span>
7,488 pounds

To check: The pool deck is 156 times larger than the original amount of concrete so the amount of sand needs to be 156 times more.

I think the Honda and Dodge have the same ratio. If you do the math, the ratio will come out to (12,1) or 12 for both types of cars.

A coordinate plane with a line passing through (negative 4, 3), (0, 1), and (4, negative 1). Which linear function is represente
9966 [12]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If these 3 points are collinear, then we can find the slope of the linear function using any 2 of those points.  Suppose we use (-4, 3) and (0, 1):  

As we move from (-4, 3) to (0, 1), x increases by 4 and y decreases by 2.  Hence, the slope of this lilne is m  = rise/run = -2/4, or m = -1/2.

Using the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b and replacing y with 1, x with 0 and m with -1/2, we get:

1 = (-1/2)(0) + b, or b = 1.  Then the desired equation is y = f(x) = (-1/2)x + 1

A cone has a diamete of 3 inches the cone hold 12 cubic inches of water to the nearet inch what is the height of the cone
Andre45 [30]

Volume for a cone is 1/3 pi * r^2*h, where r is radius and h is height. We have diameter = 1/2 radius. Thus, radius = 1.5in. We also have volume is 12 in. Using formula for volume of a cone and plugging in what we know, we have 12 = 1/3*pi*(1.5)^2*h, were solving for h. To get, h= (12*3)/(pi*(1.5)^2), which is approximately 5.0931in, 5 inches
