First you need yo figure out how much each gallon of paints costs. so divide 55 by 10. 55/10=5.5. So each gallon costs $5.50. After that you divide 30 by 5.5 to get the amount of paint you can buy for $30.00. 30/5.5=5.45454545..round that to get 5) so you can buy 5 gallons of paint for $30

Answer:

B) 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the amount of mph between 60 and 80:

80 - 60

= 20 mph

Since the speed increases 4 mph per hour, we can find how long it will take to get to 80 mph by dividing 20 by 4:

20/4

= 5

So, the correct answer is B, 5 hours

What is the volume of a cone with a radius of 2 and a height of 19?

kykrilka [37]

Remember that the cone volume formula is $V=\pi r^2\frac{h}{3}$ , with r = radius and h = height. Using our information, we can form our equation as such: $V=\pi 2^2\frac{19}{3}$ (I'll be keeping the answer in pi form.)
