I small ratio would mean it's a small difference like 60:62 would be a small ratio a big ratio might be like 2:14 do you understand how it works now?

The goal is to get the volume as large as possible while the surface area is made as small as possible. Why? Because the volume is the amount of stuff you can hold and the surface area is the amount of material to make the container.

Consider an example of making a cup. The inside portion is the amount the cup can hold. The more liquid, the better. The cup makers want to use as little material as possible so that they reduce costs. If the cup makers produce a cup that has volume of 10 cubic inches and uses 10 square inches of material, then the surface area to volume ratio is 10:10 which reduces to 1:1. A more efficient cup is made if that same volume (10 cubic inches) can be made for less material say 5 square inches to make the ratio now 5:10 which reduces to 1:2. 

So in summary, reducing the surface area to volume ratio will make more sense economically as the company makes more money while reducing costs (therefore increasing overall profit)

<u>Given:</u>

\frac{1}{6} \text{ book in } \frac{2}{3} \text{ hours}

<u>To find:</u>

Number of books per hour

<u>Solution:</u>

We have to calculate the book read in one hour.

\frac{1}{6}\text{ book }\rightarrow\frac{2}{3}\text{ hour}\\\\\text{we have to multiply both the side with 2/3}\\\\\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{3}{2}\text{ book }\rightarrow\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{3}{2}\text{ hour}\Rightarrow\frac{1}{4}\text{ book }\rightarrow1\text{ hour}

Therefore, we can conclude that the answer is \bold{\frac{1}{4}\text{ book }\rightarrow1\text{ hour }} which is option B.

An integer is a whole number...can be negative or positive.

There are no whole numbers between 0 and 1....so there are no integers between 0 and 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: {2,4,6,8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sets are:

P = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) and V= {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20)

We have to find

P∩V

The symbol is used for intersection of two sets. In intersection, only common elements of both sets are written in result.

So,

P∩V = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) ∩ {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20)

P∩V = {2,4,6,8}

Hence,

The correct answer is: {2,4,6,8}

A cylindrical juice glass is 8 centimeters tall and has a radius of 3 centimeters. If the glass is full, which of the following
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

226

Step-by-step explanation:

You first have to find the volume of the cylinder, which you would do 3 squared, which is 9, times 8, which is 72, and then times pi, which gives you 226.1946711. Since they want the closest volume to that number, it would just be 226. If you are confused on the equation, the equation for the volume of a cylinder looks like this:  V=\pi(r^{2})(h) \\, where r is the radius and h is the height.
