24/4.7=x x=5.1

24+x=what you want

24+5.1=29.1 there you go

Last autumn, julia noticed something interesting as she blew up spherical balloons for harris's birthday party. she calculated t

Vikki [24]

To find whether the volume would be doubled when the radius is,we can find the volume of the two balloons.

The formula of a sphere is:
$\frac{4}{3} \pi \: {r}^{3}$
Let's take 丌 as 3.14

The volume of the balloon with 4cm radius:
$\frac{4}{3}(3.14) \times {4}^{3} \\ = 4.18667 \times 64 \\ = 267.94688$

The volume of the balloon with 8cm radius:
$\frac{4}{3}(3.14) \times {8}^{3} \\ = 4.18667 \times 512 \\ = 2143.57504$
As we can see,
267.94668 × 2 = 535.89 ≠2145.56

Thus,she wouldn't discover that the volume is twice as big when the radius is doubled.

Hope it helps!

the sum of two numbers is 3 3/4 if 1/3 of the larger number is 1/2 more than 2/3 of the smaller find the number

Agata [3.3K]

Let us assume the larger number = x
Let us assume the smaller number = y
Then
x + y = 3 3/4
x + y = 15/4
And
x/3 = (2y/3) + 1/2
x = [3 * (2y/3)] + (3/2)
= 2y + (3/2)
Now putting the value of x from the second equation to the first , we get
x + y = 15/4
2y + (3/2) + y = 15/4
3y = (15/4) - (3/2)
3y = (15 - 6)/4
3y * 4 = 9
12y = 9
y = 9/12
   = 3/4
Now putting the value of y in the first equation, we get
x + y = 15/4
x + (3/4) = (15/4)
x = (15/4) - (3/4)
   = (15 - 3)/4
   = 12/4
   = 3
So the value of x or the larger number is 3 and the value of y or the smaller number is 3/4.
