Answer:

The greatest number of 15 inch pieces he can get is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of boards = 7 foot.

Size of pieces needed = 15 inches

We want to calculate the greatest number of 15 inches pieces he can get...

First, the length of the board has to be converted from foot to inches

If 1 inch = 12 foot, we can get the equivalent of 7 foot by multiplying both sides by 7.

So, 1 foot = 12 inches becomes

7 * 1 foot = 7 * 12 inches

7 foot = 84 inches

To calculate the greatest number of 15 inch pieces he can get, we have to divide the length of the board by 15.

Number of pieces = 7 foot / 15 inches

Number of pieces = 84 inches / 15 inches

Number of pieces = 5.6

By rounding down 5.6 , we get the greatest number of 15 inch pieces he can get.

Hence, the greatest number of 15 inch pieces he can get is 5

the answer would be 33. so the first thing you want to do is turn 7 feet into inches. if 12 inches is equal to 1 foot then 7 feet are equal to 84 inches. then add another 84  inches which will equal 168. the you would want to divide 168/15 which gives you 33.6. this mean that 33 (separate numbers) 15 inches of board from two boards.

hope I was able to help and that my explanation made sense. : )

A cylindrical tank with radius 3 m is being filled with water at a rate of 4 m3/min. How fast is the height of the water increas
Fittoniya [83]

Height of the water increasing is at rate of  #(dh)/(dt)=3/(25 pi)m/(min)#

<h3>How to solve?</h3>

With related rates, we need a function to relate the 2 variables, in this case it is clearly volume and height. The formula is:

#V=pi r^2 h#

There is radius in the formula, but in this problem, radius is constant so it is not a variable. We can substitute the value in:

#V=pi (5m)^2 h#

Since the rate in this problem is time related, we need to implicitly differentiate wrt (with respect to) time:

#(dV)/(dt)=(25 m^2) pi (dh)/(dt)#

In the problem, we are given #3(m^3)/min# which is #(dV)/(dt)#.

So we need to substitute this in:

#(dh)/(dt)=(3m^3)/(min (25m^2) pi)=3/(25 pi)m/(min)#

Hence,  Height of the water increasing is at rate of  #(dh)/(dt)=3/(25 pi)m/(min)#

<h3>Formula used: </h3>

#V=pi r^2 h#
