A.) Since there are no restrictions as to the dimensions of the candle except that their volumes must equal 1 cubic foot and that each must be a cylinder, we have the freedom to decide the candles' dimensions.
I decided to have the candles equal in volume. So, 1 cubic foot divided by 8 gives us 0.125 cubic foot, 216 in cubic inches.
With each candle having a volume of 216 cubic inches, I assign a radius to each: 0.5 in, 1.0 in, 1.5 in, 2.0 in, 2.5 in, 3.0 in, 3.5 in, and 4.0 in. Then, using the formula of the volume of a cylinder, which is:
V=pi(r^2)(h)
we then solve the corresponding height per candle. Let us let the value of pi be 3.14.
Hence, we will have the following heights (expressed to the nearest hundredths) for each of the radius: for
r=2.5 in: h=11.01 in
r=3.0 in: h= 7.64 in
r=3.5 in: h= 5.62 in
r=4.0 in: h= 4.30 in
r=4.5 in: h= 3.40 in
r=5.0 in: h= 2.75 in
r=5.5 in: h= 2.27 in
r=6.0 in: h= 1.91 in
b. each candle should sell for $15.00 each
($20+$100)/8=$15.00
c. yes, because the candles are priced according to the volume of wax used to make them, which in this case, is just the same for all sizes
For 4x^2y over 2x^8y^4 try 2 over x^6y^3
Answer:
= 233.75
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the discount, we multiply the original price by the percent off
discount = 275* .15
= 41.25
To get the sale price, take the original price and subtract the discount
sale price = 275-41.25
= 233.75
Answer:
y¹⁵-20y¹⁴
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to assume that your problem looks like this
which means we have
Answer:
+ 8/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Reciprocal is flip
Take the negative flip
- ( - 1 /(5/8))
+ 8/5
