2 answers:
Answer: C. about 0.71 of the field
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, Roni can mow the field in 30 minutes.
Thus, the work done by Roni in one day = 1/30
And, Allie can mow the field in 75 minutes.
Thus, the work done by Allie in one day = 1/75
⇒ The total work done by Roni and Allie in one day when they worked simultaneously,
=
=
=
⇒ Option C is correct.

Given:
Volume of a sphere is times the surface area.
To find:
The surface area and the volume of the sphere.
Solution:
Volume of a sphere:
...(i)
Surface area of a sphere:
...(ii)
Where, r is the radius of the sphere.
Volume of a sphere is times the surface area.
Multiply both sides by 3.
Using (i), the volume of the sphere is:
Using (ii), the surface area of the sphere is:
Therefore, the surface area of the sphere is 9856 sq. units and the volume of the sphere is 91989 cubic units.
