Let the length of rope be 1 unit.Given Joshua used \frac{1}{4} of a coil of rope to hold a shelf to the wall.

Remainder rope = 1-\frac{1}{4} =\frac{3}{4}

Joshua kept \frac{4}{9} of the remainder

Rope kept by Joshua =\frac{3}{4} .\frac{4}{9} =\frac{12}{36} =\frac{1}{3}

Rope left =\frac{3}{4} -\frac{1}{3} =\frac{9-4}{12} =\frac{5}{12}

With this Joshua ties two parcels

a) Fraction of rope used to tie each parcel =\frac{5}{12}÷2

=\frac{5}{12} .\frac{1}{2} =\frac{5}{24}

b)Joshua has 240 cm of rope .

Rope used to tie each parcel = 240.\frac{5}{24} =50cm.

the radius of the base is 4 inches and its height is 6 inches what is the surface area of the cylinder in terms of pi
wolverine [178]
Answer is 80pi
Step by step

To find lateral_area = (2 * π * r) * h

Since it’s in term of pi,
(2 x radius x height) pi
2 x 4 x 6 = 48pi

base_area = 2 * π * r²
Since it’s in terms of pi
(2 x r^2)
(2 x 4^2)
= 32pi

Total surface area in terms of pi = 32+48
= 80pi

The Rutgers University and Princeton University soccer teams scored goals in a
Schach [20]
I know the answer is that Princeton scores 15 goals but I don’t know how the work is supposed to be shown. I did it in my head. I multiplied both 8 and 5 by 3 so 8 would become 24(the goals Rutgers scored) and then you would find the number of goals Princeton scored. Sorry I couldn’t show the work but the answer is 15 goals.
