Answer: $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's analize the information given: We know that she had $94 to spend on 8 books and after buying these books she had $14. So, we need to calculate the amount of money she spent. Subtract $94 and $14:

$Total\ spent=\$94-\$14\\Total\ spent=\$80$

Then, to calculate the cost of each book, we need to divide the "Total spent" by 8:

$cost\ of\ each\ book=\frac{Total\ spent}{8}\\\\cost\ of\ each\ book=\frac{\$80}{8}\\\\cost\ of\ each\ book=\$10$

From a piece of tin in the shape of a square 6 inches on a side, the largest possible circle is cut out. What is the ratio of th

wel

Answer:

$\sf \dfrac{1}{4} \pi \quad or \quad \dfrac{7}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of a square is its side length.

The width of a circle is its diameter.

Therefore, the largest possible circle that can be cut out from a square is a circle whose diameter is equal in length to the side length of the square.

Formulas

$\sf \textsf{Area of a square}=s^2 \quad \textsf{(where s is the side length)}$

$\sf \textsf{Area of a circle}=\pi r^2 \quad \textsf{(where r is the radius)}$

$\sf \textsf{Radius of a circle}=\dfrac{1}{2}d \quad \textsf{(where d is the diameter)}$

If the diameter is equal to the side length of the square, then:
$\implies \sf r=\dfrac{1}{2}s$

Therefore:

$\begin{aligned}\implies \sf Area\:of\:circle & = \sf \pi \left(\dfrac{s}{2}\right)^2\\& = \sf \pi \left(\dfrac{s^2}{4}\right)\\& = \sf \dfrac{1}{4}\pi s^2 \end{aligned}$
