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

It took 20,000 workers to build the Taj Mahal in 20 years. How many workers would be required to build it in 10 years?
omeli [17]

Answer:

40,000 workers

Step-by-step explanation:

This question deals with simple rates proportion.

If it takes 20 years for X workers to complete a job,

if we double the amount of workers, we will take half the time.

hence to halve the time from 20 years to 10 years, we will need to double the amount of workers.

In this case we will need 20,000 workers x 2 = 40,000 workers
