Answer:

<em>5 footballs were sold for every 2 basketballs sold.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5 times as many football as basketball was sold last year

This can be represented as

1 basket ball sold = 2.5 footballs sold

for every 2 basketball sold, number of football sold = 2.5 x 2 = <em>5 footballs</em>

Question 5: the diameter of circle w is 48 cm, the diameter of circle z is 72 cm, and yz is 30 cm. What is the length of wx in c

Ivan

A circle is a curve sketched out by a point moving in a plane. The length of wx is 18 cm.

<h3>What is a circle?</h3>

A circle is a curve sketched out by a point moving in a plane so that its distance from a given point is constant; alternatively, it is the shape formed by all points in a plane that are at a set distance from a given point, the centre.

Given the length of the circle's diameter, z is 72 cm, therefore, the length of zx(Radius) is 36cm. Since the length of yz is 30 cm, the length of xy is 6 cm.

Also, the length of the circle's diameter, w is 48 cm, therefore, the length of wy(Radius) is 24 cm. Since the length of xy is 6 cm, the length of wx will be equal to,

Length of wx = wy-xy = 24cm - 6cm = 18 cm

Hence, the length of wx is 18 cm.

Linear Equation, Need Solved Asap <3

s2008m [1.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x - 4

When x = 0, y = 5(0) - 4 = -4.

When x = 1, y = 5(1) - 4 = 1.

When x = 2, y = 5(2) - 4 = 6.

The 3 ordered pairs we have are (0,-4), (1,1) and (2,6).

We now check the point (-5,-29):

(-29) : 5(-5) - 4

-29 : -25 - 4

-29 : -29 => -29 = -29.

Since Left hand side = Right hand side, the point (-5,-29) is a solution.

A sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 21m. what is the volume of the sphere.

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The volume of the sphere is 14m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume of the cylinder = $21m^3$

Required

Volume of the sphere

Given that the volume of the cylinder is 21, the first step is to solve for the radius of the cylinder;

<em>Using the volume formula of a cylinder</em>

The formula goes thus

$V = \pi r^2h$

Substitute 21 for V; this gives

$21 = \pi r^2h$

Divide both sides by h

$\frac{21}{h} = \frac{\pi r^2h}{h}$

$\frac{21}{h} = \pi r^2$

The next step is to solve for the volume of the sphere using the following formula;

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

Divide both sides by r

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{4}{3r}\pi r^3$

Expand Expression

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^2$

Substitute $\frac{21}{h} = \pi r^2$

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{21}{h}$

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{84}{3h}$

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{28}{h}$

Multiply both sided by r

$r * \frac{V}{r} = \frac{28}{h} * r$

$V = \frac{28r}{h}$ ------ equation 1

From the question, we were given that the height of the cylinder and the sphere have equal value;

This implies that the height of the cylinder equals the diameter of the sphere. In other words

$h = D$ , where D represents diameter of the sphere

Recall that $D = 2r$

So, $h = D = 2r$

$h = 2r$

Substitute 2r for h in equation 1

$V = \frac{28r}{2r}$

$V = \frac{28}{2}$

$V = 14$

Hence, the volume of the sphere is 14m³

Ken has a pole that is 26 inches long. He wishes to cut it into two pieces so that one piece will be 8 inches longer than the ot

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Do the question algebraically, represented by this equation:

let x be the shorter piece

x + (x + 8) = 26 (longer piece is 8 units longer)

Remove brackets

x + x + 8 = 26 Combine like terms

2x + 8 = 26 Start isolating "x"

2x + 8 - 8 = 26 - 8 Subtract 8 from both sides

2x = 18

2x/2 = 18/2 Divide both sides by 2

x = 9 shorter piece

The shorter piece would be 9 inches.

If you needed the longer piece too:

longer piece = x + 8

x + 8

= 9 + 8

= 17

The longer piece would be 17 inches.

Check your answer:

Longer + Shorter = 26 Substitute the lengths

17 + 9 = 26 Add

26 = 26 same number

LS = RS left side equals right side

The answer is correct.
