Hi!
We will solve this using ratios, like this:
1 shelf holds 45 pounds
x shelves hold 270 pounds
______________________
x = (270*1)/45
x = 270/45
x = 6
6 shelves will be needed to hold 270 pounds of boxes.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is 5460 cubic feet or 5460 
Explanation:
The silo has a cylindrical shape, in this context, the volume of the silo or any other cylinder can be calculated by using the formula
. In this formula the symbol
refers to the number 3.1415..., the letter
refers to the radius of the base and the letter
refers to the height.
Moreover, in this case, it is known the heigh (21 feet) and the area of the base (260 square feet). Additionally, this area of the base is the result of the formula
, which is exactly the first section of the formula to find the volume. This implies that by multiplying the area of the base by the height the volume is known. Here is the process:
or
(Area of the base × height)
× 

8
3/4
x/32
Solve for x, = 24
Subtract 24 from 32
Also another way
4 x n = 32
n = 8
3x8 = 24
Subtract and same result
