The book is asking if 14/20 is the same as 16/24. In other words, we want to see if 14/20 = 16/24 is a true equation or not.

Let's find out

14/20 = 16/24
14*24 = 20*16 ... cross multiply
336 = 320

Since the last equation shown above is NOT true, this makes the first equation NOT true.

The equation 14/20 = 16/24 is false so they did NOT make a proportional number of shots

An alternative route is to convert each fraction to decimal form
14/20 = 0.7
16/24 = 0.6666... (the 6's go on forever)
We get two different decimal values so this confirms our answer

a cold wave hit chicago when the temperature hit 62 f during the cold wave the temperature dropped 2 degrees every hour how many
Vladimir [108]
We start at 62 Fahrenheit. And every hour we drop two degrees. We want to know how long it took for the temperature to drop to 40 Fahrenheit.

If one hour passed, then the temperature dropped two degrees.
If two hours passed, then the temperature dropped 4 degrees.

See the pattern? We can define this as 2h. Where h represents time in hours.
We subtract 2h from 62. 

We can write this as a function. F(h) = 62 - 2h.
Where F is the temperature in Fahrenheit. And h is the hour(s).

Now that we have the formula, let's plug in the value 40 Fahrenheit to see how long it took for the temperature to drop to 40 degrees.

40 = 62 - 2h
Subtract 62 from each side

-22 = -2h
Divide both sides by 2

h = 11

So, it took 11 hours for the temperature to drop to 40 Fahrenheit.

What is the volume of a cylinder that is 15-m tall and has a radius of 3 m. Use 3.14 for π, and round your answer to the nearest
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

D. 424 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder

V = \pir²h

Plug in the values we know

V = (3.14)(3²)(15)

V = 423.9 m³

This is closest to answer choice D, 424 m³

So, D is correct
