Answer: There are 22.2 pounds of water in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to multiply the total weight of the bag by the water percentage in decimal form (divided by 100).

Mathematically speaking:

30 x (74/100) = 30 x 0.74 =22.2 pounds

There are 22.2 pounds of water in the bag.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

When using an equivalent fraction to find a percent, why do you write 100 as the denominator ?

Westkost [7]

You write 100 as the denominator because 100 represents a whole whereas the numerator normally represents a percentage. Hope this helps!

A right circular cylinder has a height of 19 3/4 ft and a diameter 1 2\5 times its height.

Answer:

Volume of cylinder is 34833.21 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A right circular cylinder having height $19\frac{3}{4}$ ft and diameter $\frac{12}{5}$ times its height.

Given : diameter $\frac{12}{5}$ times its height that is

diameter $\frac{12}{5}$ times $19\frac{3}{4}$ that is

Diameter = $\frac{12}{5} \times \frac{79}{4}$

Diameter = $\frac{237}{5}$ ft

Radius is half of diameter,

Radius = $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{237}{5}=\frac{237}{10}$ ft

$\text{Volume of Cylinder}=\pi r^2h$

Substitute the values, we get,

$\text{Volume of Cylinder}= \pi (\frac{237}{10})^2 \times \frac{79}{4}$

$\text{Volume of Cylinder}= \times 3.14 \times (23.7)^2 \times 19.75$

$\text{Volume of Cylinder}=34833.21$

Thus, volume of cylinder is 34833.21 ft³

Answer:

5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the four sides. Opposite sides have the same length, so it is twice the sum of the lengths of adjacent sides.

The sum of adjacent sides is (32 m)/2 = 16 m. If one of them is 11 m long, the other is ...

16 m - 11 m = 5 m

The "missing" side is 5 m long.
