To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

 - <span>The diameter of a basketball rim is 18 inches.
 - A standard basketball has a circumference of 30 inches. 

 2. Therefore, the diameter of the standard basketball is:

 D=30 inches/</span>π
 D=9.54 inches

 3. Therefore you have:

 (18 inches-9.54 inches)=8.45 inches on both sides

 4. Then, the distance <span>the distance between the ball and the rim in a shot in which the ball goes exactly in the center of the rim, is:
</span>
 d=8.45 inches/2
 d=4.22 inches

 The answer is: 4.22 inches

We know that
circumference=2*pi*r-------> r=circumference/(2*pi)
circumference=30 in
r=circumference/(2*pi)------> 30/(2*pi)-----> 4.7746 in
the radius of a <span>standard basketball is 4.77 in
</span>
<span>the distance between the ball and the rim is equal to
</span>radius of a basketball rim minus radius of a a standard basketball  
radius of a basketball rim =18/2------> 9 in
radius of a a standard basketball=4.77 in<span>

</span>
the distance between the ball and the rim=[9-4.77]------> 4.23 in

the answer is
4.23 in

30 PTS!!!!! Cole needs to include at least 11​ mg and at most 22​ mg of iron in his diet each day. Cole plans to eat multiple ba
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A:</u> If Cole eats 3​ bananas each day. These 3 bananas contain 3\cdot 0.3=0.9 mg of iron.

Let x be the number of vitamins Cole takes. Each whole vitamin contains 4​ mg of iron, then x vitamins contain 4x mg of iron.

The total amount of iron Cole takes is

0.9+4x\ mg

Cole needs to include at least 11​ mg and at most 22​ mg of iron in his diet each day, so

11\le 0.9+4x\le 22

Solve it:

11-0.9\le 4x\le 22-0.9\\ \\10.1\le 4x\le 21.1\\ \\2.525\le x\le 5.275

The smallest number of vitamins - 3, the greatest number of vitamins - 5.

<u>Part B: </u>Cole continues to eat 3​ bananas each day. He pays \$2\cdot 7=\$14 for bananas per week.

If Cole spends a total of $20​ on bananas and vitamins this week, then he spent $20 - $14 = $6 on vitamins.

Let x be the number of vitamins Cole takes this week.

First 10​ vitamins are free, then x - 10 vitamins each cost $0.50 (he pays an additional dollar for every 2​ additional vitamins he purchases) and they cost

\$0.50(x-10)

This amount of money is exactly $6, so

0.50(x-10)=6\\ \\5(x-10)=60\\ \\x-10=12\\ \\x=22

This means Cole takes 3 vitamins per day (the whole number) and he is able to meet his iron requirement every day this week, based on  answer in Part A.
