Answer:

The distance between the two piers is 3 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

If in Tasha's drawing 2cm represents 0.5 miles between the two piers, and the distance between the two piers in Tasha's drawing is 12cm.

The answer is found by the rule of three:

2 cm : 0.5 miles

12 cm : X

X = (12 * 0.5) / 2

X = 3 miles.

The distance between the two piers is actually 3 miles.

Explain how to find the surface area of a can of fruit with a height of 80 mm and a diameter of 60 mm. Give the area in your exp

sdas [7]

Answer:

$S=6600\pi \text{ mm}^2$

$S\approx 20724 \text{ mm}^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

A can of fruit is geometrically a cylinder.

We are talking about the surface area of a cylinder:

$S=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2$

$\pi \approx 3.14$

$r: \text{radius}$

$h: \text{height}$

Factoring, we have:

$S=2\pi r (h+r)$

Calculating the surface area of the can of fruit:

$S=2\pi (30) (80+30)$

$S=2\pi (30) (110)$

$S=6600\pi$

$S\approx 20724 \text{ mm}^2$

½ (8x+4) = ¼ (8+16x)

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Both sides of the equation are equal to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

½ (8x+4) = ¼ (8+16x)

(1/2*8x) + (1/2*4) = (1/4*8) + (1/4*16x)

4x + 2 = 2 + 4x

(4x - 4x) + 2 = 2 (+ 4x - 4x)

2 = 2

on Tuesday pierce ran 3/4 mile and walked 3/4 on Wednesday he ran 2/4 mile and walk 1 1/4 miles hiw much farther did pierce run

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

On Tuesday

3/4 + 3/4 = 3/2 = 1 1/2 = 1.5

On Wednesday

2/4 + 1 1/4 = 7/4 = 1 3/4 = 1.75

Then we subtract

1.75 - 1.5 = 0.25
