Ducks have two legs while dogs have four legs and their are 25 heads, so there must be 15 dogs and 10 ducks.
15(heads) x 4(legs/head) = 60 legs      10 (heads) x 2 (legs/head) = 20 legs
                                      60 legs + 20 legs = 80 legs
                                      15 heads + 10 heads = 25 heads
(legs/head) is read as legs per head

Ducks have 1 head. Dogs have 1 head.
Ducks have 2 feet. Dogs have 4 feet.

If x = no. of ducks and g = no. of dogs

x + g = 25
2x + 4g = 80

Let's use substitution to solve.

x + g = 25 ⇒ x = 25 - g
replace x with 25 - g in the other equation and solve for g

2x + 4g = 80
2(25 - g) + 4g = 80
50 - 2g  + 4g = 80
50 + 2g = 80
2g = 30
g = 15

Now use g = 15 in an earlier equation to find x.

x + g = 25
x + 15 = 25
x = 10

If a cone has a volume of 338 cm^3 and a radius of 6 cm, how tall is it?
Anna35 [415]

The formula for the volume of a cone is V = πr²h ÷3

You are solving for the height, h.

V = 338 cm³ and r = 6 cm

338 = π(6)²h÷3

338 = π36h÷3

338 = π12h

28.16 = πh

8.965 = h

The height of the cone is around 9 cm.
