Answer:

The volume of the larger pyramid is equal to 7,133\ cm^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor

Let

z----> the scale factor

In this problem, the ratio of the height is equal to the scale factor

z=\frac{4}{7}

step 2

Find the volume of the larger pyramid

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> volume of the smaller pyramid

y----> volume of the larger pyramid

z^{3}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=\frac{4}{7}

x=1,331\ cm^{3}

substitute

(\frac{4}{7})^{3}=\frac{1,331}{y}\\ \\(\frac{64}{343})=\frac{1,331}{y}\\ \\y=343*1,331/64\\ \\y=7,133\ cm^{3}

Naily [24]

Answer:

The total number of registered doctors was 167,722.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of doctors:

The total number of doctors is given by x.

31.6% of all registered doctors were female. 53,000 female doctors.

This means that:

0.316x = 53000

What was the total number of registered doctors?

We have to solve the above equation for x. So

x = \frac{53000}{0.316}

x = 167722

The total number of registered doctors was 167,722.
