Hello!

Here is how we solve this question.

We know that 2 shoes = 1 pair

So we subtract 2 from 16 until we reach 0, and count how many times we subtracted.

16-2=14

14-2=12

12-2=10

10-2=8

8-2=6

6-2=4

4-2=2

2-2=0

After we do repeated subtraction we find that Abigail has 8 pairs of shoes!

Hope this helps you with your question.

Randy rented a rectangular storage shed with the volume of 357 ft does it sheds height is 8 and 1/2 ft and the width of is 6 ft

ollegr [7]

Answer:

7 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of shed, V = 357 feet³

Height of shed, H= 8 1/2 fts

Width of shed, W = 6 ft

Using the relation :

Volume = Length * width * height

357 = L * 6 ft * 17/2 feets

357 feets³ = L * 51 feets²

L = 357 feets³ / 51 feets²

Length, L = 7 feets

Cone A has a radius of 2 inches and a height of 3 inches. In cone B, the height is the same, but the radius is doubled. Calculat

wlad13 [49]

Answer: Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for calculate the volume of a cone:

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

Where r is the radius and h is the height.

Volume of the cone A:

$V_A=\frac{1}{3}\pi (2in)^2(3in)=12.56in^3$

Volume of the cone B:

If the height of the cone B and the height of the cone A are the same , but the radius of the cone B is doubled, then its radius is:

$r_B=2r_A\\r_B=2*2in\\r_B=4in$

Then:

$V_B=\frac{1}{3}\pi (4in)^2(3in)=50.26in^3$

Divide $V_B$ by $V_A$ :

$\frac{V_B}{V_A}=\frac{50.26in^3}{12.56in^3}=4$

Therefore: When the radius is doubled, the resulting volume is 4 times that of the original cone.

There are 130 people in a sport centre. 73 people use the gym. 62 people use the swimming pool. 58 people use the track. 22 peop

Delvig [45]

Answer:

$\frac{11}{87}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of people = 130

Number of people who use the gym = 73

Number of people who use the pool = 62

Number of people who use the track = 58

Number of people who use the gym and the pool = 22

Number of people who use the pool and the track = 29

Number of people who use the gym and the track = 25

Number of people who use all three facilities = 11

Total number of people who use at least two facilities = 22 + 29 + 25 + 11 = 87

The probability that the randomly selected person uses all three facilities = number of those who use all three facilities ÷ total number of people who use at least two facilities.

==> 11 ÷ 87

==> $\frac{11}{87}$
