Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let corn tortillas be represented by c, flour tortillas be represented by f and the total number of packages be t

such that

t = c + f     .... eq 1

ratio of c to t = 7 : 16 = 7/16

Therefore, t = 16,    c = 7

substitute the value of t in eq 1

16 =  7 + f

f = 16 - 7

f = 9

Answer:

Circle requires ≈ 20 m of edging

R = √(A/π)

C = 2πR = 2π√(A/π)

C = 2π√(30/π) = 19.41625... ≈ 20 m

An artist designed a metal structure in the shape of a pyramid with dimensions as shown. A pyramid has a square base with side l
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the number of

tiles she will need to cover the pyramid, we would apply the formula for determining the total surface area of a pyramid. It is expressed as

Total surface area = 1/2 × p × l + base area

Where

p represents the perimeter of the base

l represents the slant height of the triangular face

Since the base is a square, the perimeter, p is

12 × 4 = 48 feet

l = 15 feet

Base area = 12² = 144 ft²

Total surface area = (1/2 × 48 × 15) + 144 = 504 ft²

Since the artist decides to cover the metal structure with 1-foot square glass tiles, the number of tiles needed is

504/1 = 504 tiles
