Answer:

The king left his castle with 44 silver coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

A king left his castle with a bag of silver coins and he gave his coins to 3 peasants in an order. Finally he went home with two coins left.

To solve this question we calculate it in reverse order.

Finally the king has in his bag = 2 coins

Before it he met third peasant king had =

= (2+2) × 2

= 4×2 = 8

Before the king met third peasant, he had 8 coins.

Before he met Second peasant king had :

= (8+2) × 2

= 10 × 2 = 20

Before he met second peasant king had 20 coins.

Before he met first peasant he had :

= (20+ 2) × 2

= 22 × 2 = 44

Before King met first peasant he had 44 silver coins.

Mandy wants to put some lace trim around the outside of a round tablecloth she expanded the original tablecloth had a radius of
daser333 [38]
To determine if the amount of lace is enough to be placed around the tablecloth, we determine the circumference of the tablecloth through the equation,
      C = 2πr

where C is circumference,
        r is the radius

Substituting the known values,
    C = 2π(3 ft) = 18.85 ft

Hence, the 15 ft lace will not be enough for the tablecloth.

Mitchell poured the contents of a completely filled cone into an empty cylinder, and the cylinder became two-thirds full. The cy
iogann1982 [59]
Answer: B. h = 7.5 cm ; r = 10 cm
Given:
Cylinder 
Cone

Volume of Cylinder = π r² h
= 3.14 * (5cm)² * 15cm
= 3.14 * 25cm² * 15cm
= 1,177.50 cm³

Volume of the cone = 1,177.50 cm³ * 2/3
= 2355 cm³ ÷ 3 
= 785 cm³

Volume of the cone = π r² h/3

a) 3.14 * 15² * 5/3 = 1177.50 cm³
b) 3.14 * 10² * 7.5/3 = 785 cm³
c) 3.14 * 7.5² * 10/3 = 588.75 cm³
d) 3.14 * 5² * 15/3 = 392.50 cm³

At 8:00 a.m., there were t inches of snow on the ground. At 5:00 p.m., there were 3t inches of snow on the ground. How many more
Anastaziya [24]

we conclude that at 5:00 p.m. there are 8 more inches of snow than at 8:00 a.m.

<h3>How many more inches of snow were on the ground at 5:00 p.m. than at 8:00 a.m.?</h3>

We know that at 8:00 a.m. there were t inches of snow in the ground.

At 5:00 p.m. there were 3t inches of snow in the ground.

Then the difference between the heights of the snow is:

3t- t = 2t

And we know that at 5:00 p.m. there were 12 inches of snow then we can solve the linear equation for t:

3t = 12in

t = (12in)/3 = 4 in

Replacing that in the difference of heights:

2t = 2*4in = 8in

From this, we conclude that at 5:00 p.m. there are 8 more inches of snow than at 8:00 a.m.
