The answer is: 45 sandals.
_________________
Explanation: 
_________________
The ratio of:
__________________
shoes : sandals = 8:5
_____________________
We want to know how many SHOES were sold; if 72 sandals were sold.
__________________________
→ 8:5 = x:72 ; in which "x" = number of shoes were sold;
____________________
We can write this as:
___________________
→ 8 / 5 = x / 72; 
___________________
→ Cancel the "8" to a "1"; and change the "72" to a "9"; since "8 * 9 = 72" ;
______________________
→ and rewrite as:  1 / 5 = x / 9 ; 
____________________________
→ SInce "1/5" = 0.2 ; write as: 0.2 = x / 9 ↔  (0.2) x = 9 ;
__________________________
→ Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "(0.2)" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x' ; 
___________________________________
→ (0.2) x / (0.2) = 9 / (0.2) ; → to get: 45.
_____________
The answer is: 45 sandals.

5. A solid has a circle of radius r as its base. All sections of the solid perpendicular to the diameter along the x-axis are is
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

 \frac{16r^3}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

In this cross sections problem, we can integrate from -r to +r (so that the integral covers the entire base of the solid).

\int\limits^r_a {2(x^2+r^2 )} \, dx

The formatting for the integral did not let me put -r on the lower bound, so i replaced it with a, just know that a represents -r here.

Evaluating the integral gives use that it is equal to;

\frac{16r^3}{3}

Caution: this answer may not meet your needs, but this is the answer I have come up with with the given information.
