Well, it's the product of 8/9 and the 4 miles. The result is 32/9 miles, that is, 3,55 miles.
The solution would be like this for this specific problem:
Volume of a cylinder = pi * r^2 * h
Volume of a cone = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h
Total Height = 47
Height of the cone = 12
Height of the cylinder = 35
If the top half is filled with sand, then:
volume (sand) = pi * 4^2 * 36
volume (cone) = 1/3 * pi * 4^2 * 12
Total volume = 1960.353816 cubic millimeters
353816 / (10 * pi) = 62.4 seconds.
It will take 62.4 seconds until all of the sand has dripped to the bottom of the hourglass.
Answer:
2%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the first number
It increases by 70 %
The new number is
m = x+ .70x
= 1.7x
Let y be the second number
It decreases by 40 %
The new number is
n =y - .40 y
= .6y
The product of the original numbers is xy
The product of the new number is
mn = (1.7x * .6y) = 1.02xy
The new number is larger than the old number so it is an increase.
Percent increase is new - original divided by original times 100%
Percent increase = (1.02 xy - xy)
----------------- * 100%
xy
= .02 xy
------- * 100 %
xy
= .02 * 100 %
= 2%
Answer:
$17,685.45
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use the compound interest formula to solve this:
<em>P = initial balance</em>
<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>
<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>
<em>t = time</em>
<em />
The first step is to change 12% into a decimal:
12% -> 
-> 0.12
Next, lets plug in the values:
After 7 years, you will have $17,685.45
