The volume of this figure is 660 cube centimetre
Answer:
⅛
Step-by-step explanation:
P(H&H&H) = ½ × ½ × ½ = ⅛
Assuming that this field is rectangular with 2 semi-circles (one on both ends of the field), we must first calculate the total area of the field. this is done by adding the area of the rectangular portion and the circular portion. This is done below:
Given:
Rectangular length = 95 yards
Rectangular width = semi-circle diameter = 49 yards
Area of rectangle = length * width = 95 * 49
Area of rectangle = 4655 yd^2
The area of the 2 semi-circles can be obtained by treating both as one circle.
Area of circle = pi * (d/2)^2 = 3.1416 * (49/2)^2
Area of circle = 1885.74 yd^2
Total area = 1885.74 + 4655 = 6540.74
We multiply the area by the cost of fertilizing:
Total cost = cost per sq. yd * total area
Total cost = 0.08 * 6540.74
Total cost = $523.26
The first column is the ratio you start with. The next column in the table should be the reduced fraction. To properly reduce a fraction, you divide the same number on the top and bottom of the fraction. Melody instead subtracted 1 in the top and bottom of the fraction to reduce it. She should have divided the top and bottom by 2 to get the second column of 1 pound of turkey and 3 people served.
The final column is designed to be the answer to the initial question of how many people are fed by 15 pounds of ground turkey. Starting with column 2 (the reduced ratio of 1/3), multiply the top by 15 to get 15 pounds of ground turkey. Then do the same to the bottom of the fraction. 3 x 15 = 45 people fed.
So the table should have been
Pounds of turkey 2 1 15
People served 1 3 45
Melody's overriding error was in believing that adding or subtracting numbers to both the top and bottom of a ratio/fraction keep its value the same. Instead, only multiplying or dividing the top and bottom by the same number creates an equivalent fraction.
