Answer: she uses 2 eggs for one batch of brownies and 4 eggs for one batch of cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of eggs that she uses for one batch of brownies.

Let y represent the number of eggs that she uses for one batch of cookies.

Last month, she made 2 batches of brownies and 3 batches of cookies. This means that

2x + 3y = 16 - - - - - - - - - -1

The month before, she baked 1 batch of brownies and 1 batch of cookies, which required a total of 6 eggs. This means that

x + y = 6 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 2, it becomes

2x + 3y = 16

2x + 2y = 12

Subtracting, it becomes

y = 4

Substituting y = 4 into equation 2, it becomes

x + 4 = 6

x = 6 - 4 = 2

<h3>Given:</h3><h3>Large cone:</h3>
  • r= 8 cm
  • h= 20 cm
<h3>Small cone:</h3>
  • r= 4 cm
  • h= 10cm
<h3>Note that:</h3>
  • r: radius
  • h: height
<h3>To find:</h3>
  • The volume of the frustum of the given cone.
<h3>Solution:</h3>
  • Frustum is a part of a cone formed by cutting off the top by a parallel plane.

\large\boxed{Formula: V= \frac{1}{3}\pi{r}^{2}h}

Let's solve!

First, let's find the volume of the smaller cone.

Substitute the values according to the

formula.

V= \frac{1}{3}×\pi×{4}^{2}×10

V= 167.5516082 \: {cm}^{3}

Now, we can round off to the nearest hundredth.

The value in the thousandths place is smaller than 5 so we won't have to round up.

\boxed{V= 167.55 \: {cm}^{3}}

Next, let's find the volume of the bigger cone.

Substitute the values according to the formula.

V= \frac{1}{3}×\pi×{8}^{2}×20

V= 1340.412866 \: {cm}^{3}

Now, we can round off to the nearest hundredth.

The value in thousandths place is smaller than 5 so we won't have to round up.

\boxed{V=1340.41 \: {cm}^{3}}

Now, we can find the volume of the frustum.

We'll have to minus the volume of the smaller cone from the bigger cone.

V= 1340.41-167.55

\large\boxed{V= 1172.86 \: {cm}^{3}}

<u>Hence, the volume of the frustum is 1172.86 cubic centimeters.</u>

A number decreased by 5 is 50
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

55 decrease by 5 is 50, or 55 - 5 = 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the missing number.

When you hear the words decrease, minus, that tells you to subtract.

Before we subtract, if there is a variable, we must do the opposite of subtraction, we need to add.

50 + 5 = x

Which means x = 50 + 5.

50 + 5 = 55.

Therefore, x = 55.
