Given that the two cone are similar, then
3/7 = x/5
7x = 15
x = 15/7

Answer: The correct option is (D) $\dfrac{15}{7}.$

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the two cones in the figure are similar.

We are to find the height 'x' of the smaller cone.

The height and radius of the bigger cone are 5 units and 7 units respectively.

The radius of the smaller cone is 3 units.

Since the two cones are similar, so their corresponding heights and radius will be proportional.

Therefore, we must have

$\dfrac{5}{x}=\dfrac{7}{3}\\\\\\\Rightarrow 5\times 3=7x\\\\\\\Rightarrow7x=15\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{15}{7}.$

Thus, the height of the smaller cone is $\dfrac{15}{7}~\textup{units}.$

Option (D) is correct.

Y=40+5x
For an example, say Mia wanted to add $5 into her account each week for 2 weeks.
y=40+5(2)
5(2)=10
y=40+10
y=50
Mia will have a total of $50 in her account if she added $5 for each week for 2 weeks. Same for Juan, his equation will be based off his amount y=15+10x

3 cups 6oz + 2 cups 9oz

Liono4ka [1.6K]

1 cup is equal to 8 oz, so
3 cups x 8 = 24 oz.
you'll do the same for the two cups
2 x 8 = 16 oz
so adding them all together will be
24 + 6 + 16 + 9 = 55 total oz.

A car moves at a speed that allows it to move 45 yards in 5⁄4 of a second. How long will it take a car at the same speed to move

Dimas [21]

First, to make things easier, let's turn 5/4 into a decimal given a second is equal to 1000 milliseconds.

5/4 = 1,25

1,25 * 1000 = 1250 milliseconds = 1.25 seconds

So, we've found that 45 yards can be covered in 1.25 seconds. Now we'll use the rule of 3:

45 - 1.25

80 - x

Now we solve:

(80 * 1.25) / 45 = x

100 / 45 = x

2,22... = x

So, according to our answer, 80 yards can be covered in 2,22 seconds, which in fractions would be:

$2,22 =\frac{222}{100} = \frac{111}{50}$

Hope it helped,
