How do i find the volume of these similar solids? round to the nearest tenth HELP

Mathematics

Answer:

The volume of the larger solid is 592.6\ mm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question is</em></u>

If these solids are similar, find the volume of the larger solid

step 1      

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two solids are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

x ----> the height of the larger solid in mm

y ----> the height of the smaller solid in mm

z ---> the scale factor

z=\frac{x}{y}

we have

x=4\ mm\\y=3\ mm

substitute

z=\frac{4}{3} ---> scale factor

step 2

Find the volume of the larger solid

we know that

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

Let

x ----> the volume of the larger solid in cubic millimeters

y ----> the volume of the smaller solid in in cubic millimeters

z ---> the scale factor

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

we have

z=\frac{4}{3}

y=250\ mm^3

substitute the values

(\frac{4}{3})^3=\frac{x}{250}

solve for x

(\frac{64}{27})=\frac{x}{250}

x=250(\frac{64}{27})

x=592.6\ mm^3

A sales person earns a commission based on the number and type of vehicle sold. A person selling 6 cars and 3 trucks earns 4,800
AURORKA [14]
Assign variables to you unknowns.

c = $ cars
t = $ trucks

6c + 3t = 4800
8c + t = 4600

use substitution or elimination to solve the system of equations.

using elimination.. multiply second equation by -3 and add to the other to combine equations into one.

6c + 3t = 4800
-3(8c + t = 4600)
---------------------------
-18c + 0 = -9000
c = 9000/18
c = 500 $

use this in one of the equations to find the cost of a truck.

8(500) + t = 4600
4000 + t = 4600
t = 4600 - 4000
t = 600 $

question asks
2(500) + 3(600) =
1000 + 1800 = 2800 $

Describe how total job benefits and total employee compensation differ.
diamong [38]

<u>Difference between total job benefits and total employee compensation:</u>

<em>Employee compensation:</em>

  • The total employee compensation refers to the amount of money an employee is given in exchange for the tasks they complete for the employer.
  • Employee compensation is the most basic or we can say the minimum amount of money an employee is given. It mostly includes the salary of an employee.

<em>Total job benefits:</em>

  • Total job benefits are not necessarily provided in monetary means. As the name suggests, job benefits are the facilities and advantages provided by the company or the employer to the employees.
  • These benefits are generally performance- based, the better the performance, the better the benefits.
  • Job benefits may include health insurance policies, travel packages, transport facilities and much more.

A bus company took a tour bus on a ferry when there were 30 people aboard. The ferry charged the bus company $180. The following
OLEGan [10]
Problem: A bus company took a tour bus on the ferry when there were 30 people aboard. The ferry charged the bus company $180. The following week, the bus had 50 people on board and the ferry charged them $220. How much is the "base rate" for the empty bus? How much does each person cost? Show this using y = mx + b form.

Solution:
Let x = the number of people on the bus
Let y = the total cost for the bus with its passengers to use the ferry.

Then, when there are 30 people on the bus (x = 30), the cost was $180 (y = 180). This means the point (x, y) = (30, 180).
Also, when there were 50 people on the bus, the cost was $220. So that is the point (50, 220).

You see - we have two points and so we can write the equation of a line that goes through those points. The first thing we have to do is find the slope.

The slope of the line joining two points is the rise divided by the run. That means

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

So we put in the values of (30, 180) and (50, 220):

m = (220 - 180) / (50 - 30)
m = 40 / 20
m = 2.

The slope is 2. Now we can write it in the form y = mx + b, using 2 for m:

y = 2x + b.

This equation connects both points, so that means it goes through those points. We want to know "b" next, so we can now substitute in either point for the x and the y. I will substitute in x = 50 and y = 220:

220 = 2(50) + b
220 = 100 + b
b + 100 = 220
b = 120.

Now I know the b and the m, so I can finally write the full y=mx + b form of the equation:

y = 2x + 120.

For the other questions, I can look at the equation I got. The y-intercept (b value) is $120. That means that we are adding $120 on to the price all the time. That's the price for the empty bus. The 2x means to multiply the number of people by two and add this to the $120. So each person is $2.

Here's an example: if you had just 10 people on the bus, you'd pay $120 for the empty bus and $2 for each person. That's $20 for the people and $120 for the bus. That total is $140. Let's see if (10, 140) works in the equation we got:

y = 2x + 120
140 ?=? 2(10) + 120
140 ?=? 20 + 120
yes. 140 = 140. It does work.

Now you try it with your question.

Harman [31]

Answer:

One ordered pair would be (1, -6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = 1, then

3(1) - y = 9

-y = 9 - 3 = 6

y = -6.
