In terms of X then x would be equal to -2
General Idea:
The volume of cylinder is given by
, where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder.
Applying the concept:
Step 1: We need to find the volume of full cylinder with the given dimensions using the formula.
Volume of full cylinder 
Volume of half cylinder 
Step 2: Let x be the number of minutes of filling the sand.
of sand filled every 15 seconds, there are four 15 seconds in a minute.
So volume of sand filled in 1 minute
.
of sand taken out of cylindrical vase every minute.
Net volume of sand filled in 1 minute = Volume of sand filled in the vase in one minute - Volume of sand taken out in 1 minute
Net volume of sand filled in 1 minute
Volume of sand filled in x minutes
.
We need to set up an equation to find the number of minutes need to fill half the volume in cylindrical vase.

Conclusion:
The number of minutes required for the base be half filled with sand is 57
<u><em>Answers:</em></u>
a.
miles/day
b. 14 miles
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>Part a:</u>
We are given that they paddled a total distance of 14 miles for 3 days. To get the distance paddled each day, we will divide the total paddled distance by the number of days
<u>This is done as follows:</u>
Distance paddled each day =
miles/day
<u>Part b:</u>
<u>Now, we are given that:</u>
<u>i. They went half their daily distance:</u>
Daily distance =
miles/day
<u>ii. They extended the trip twice as many days</u>
Number of days = 2 × 3 = 6 days
The total distance paddled will be equivalent to the product of the distance paddled each day and the total number of days
<u>This means that:</u>
Total distance =
miles
Hope this helps :)
