From 1940 to 1980, the consumer price index (CPI) increased from 28.6 to 89.4. If a gallon of milk cost $0.75 in 1940 and the pr

ice of milk increased at the same rate as the CPI from 1940 to 1980, approximately how much did a gallon of milk cost in 1980?

28.6 / 89.4 = 0.75 / x
cross multiply
28.6x = 67.05
x = 67.05 / 28.6
x = 2.34 <==

The volume of ice-cream in the cone is half the volume of the cone. The cone has a 3 cm radius and

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

h = 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The volume of ice-cream in the cone is half the volume of the cone.

Volume of cone is given by :

$V_c=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

r is radius of cone, r = 3 cm

h is height of cone, h = 6 cm

So,

$V_c=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi (3)^2\times 6\\\\V_c=18\pi\ cm^3$

Let $V_i$ is the volume of icecream in the cone. So,

$V_i=\dfrac{18\pi}{2}=9\pi\ cm^3$

Let H be the depth of the icecream.

Two triangles formed by the cone and the icecream will be similiar. SO,

$\dfrac{H}{6}=\dfrac{r}{3}\\\\r=\dfrac{H}{2}$

So, volume of icecream in the cone is :

$V_c=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi (\dfrac{h}{2})^2(\dfrac{h}{3})\\\\9\pi=\dfrac{h^3}{12}\pi\\\\h^3=108\\\\h=4.76\ cm$

or

h = 5 cm

So, the depth of the ice-cream is 5 cm.

Each one of four pies were cut into 8 pieces for dinner. After dinner there remained 1/2 of a pie, o pie, 3/8 of a pie and 5/$of

Marizza181 [45]

Answer: What you would have left is 12 pieces of pie

Step-by-step explanation: As stated in the question, one pie has been sliced into 8 pieces, and there are three pies in all. That means we had at the beginning 3 x 8 slices of pie which equals 24 pieces.

Also if each pie had been sliced into 8 pieces then each can be represented as 8/8. Therefore eating one slice would leave you with 7/8 (that is 8/8 minus 1/8).

So, each of the three pies now have the following left overs;

1/2, 3/8 and 5/8.

Adding them all together would give,

1/2 + 3/8 + 5/8

Using 8 as the common denominator

4/8 + 3/8 + 5/8

(4 + 3 + 5)/8

12/8.

Therefore, there would be 12 pieces left altogether, which can also be expressed as one pie and 4 pieces.
