Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

$37.68$ square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A pie company arranges its three-flavor cheesecake sampler into equal-sized slices: S represents strawberry, C represents chocolate, and P represents plain.

Diameter of the pie = 12 inches

To find: total area of the strawberry portion in the pie

Solution:

Diameter of the pie = 12 inches

Radius of the pie (r) = Diameter / 2 = $\frac{12}{2}=6$ inches

Area of the pie = $\pi r^2=3.14(6)^2=113.04$ square inches

Ratio of the strawberry portion in the pie = $\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$

Therefore,

total area of the strawberry portion in the pie = $\frac{1}{3}(113.04)=37.68$ square inches

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

99 dandelions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ratio of dandelions to peonies in the garden was 11 to 4

Total number of peonies in the garden = 36

To find: Total number of dandelions in the garden

Solution:

A ratio indicates number of times one quantity contains another quantity.

$\frac{Number\,\,of\,\,dandelions }{Number\,\,of\,\,peonies} =\frac{11}{4}\\\\\frac{Number\,\,of\,\,dandelions}{36} =\frac{11}{4}\\ Number\,\,of\,\,dandelions=(\frac{11}{4}) (36)=99$

So,

99 dandelions were there in the garden.

Answer:

The situations 1 and 2 describes an equal difference over an equal interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A sunflower grows at a rate of 3.5 cm per day, for the first 28 days.

Here, the growth of the sunflower per day is uniform i.e. 3.5 cm.

2. After the car is purchased the value of a car depreciates at a rate of 15% per year.

Here, also the the depreciation of the car's value is equal i.e. 15% of initial value per year.

3. During an experiment, the amount of bacteria in a culture triples every two days.

Here, the growth of bacteria count is not equal per day because the bacteria count per day increases exponentially. (Answer)
