<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

There are 3900 workers in the three main buildings downtown. Twice as many people work in the largest building as in the smallest of the three. There are 500 more workers in the second-largest building than in the smallest building. How many workers are in each building?

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

There are 850 workers in smallest building and 1700 workers in largest building and 1350 workers in second largest building

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Let "b" be the number of workers in smallest building

Given that Twice as many people work in the largest building as in the smallest of the three

number of workers in largest building = 2b

Given that There are 500 more workers in the second-largest building than in the smallest building

Number of workers in second largest building = 500 + b

Given that there are 3900 workers in 3 buildings

b + 2b + 500 + b = 3900

4b + 500 = 3900

4b = 3900 - 500

4b = 3400

b = 850

Thus there are 850 workers in smallest building

workers in largest building = 2b = 2(850) = 1700

workers in second largest building = 500 + b = 500 + 850 = 1350

Thus there are 850 workers in smallest building and 1700 workers in largest building and 1350 workers in second largest building

Ethan rode 25.65 kilometers on Saturday and 14.23 kilometers on Sunday. About how far did Ethan ride during the two days?
vazorg [7]
So for this problem we are looking for a sum (total). So first we are going to round 25.65 to 25.7 and round 14.23 to 14.2

Now we are going to add 25.7 and 14.2 to get a total of 39.9

Ethan rode 39.9 kilometers.

The base of a cone can be
Brut [27]
The base of a cone is something circular, like a circle or an ellipse. 
The rest of the options (square, triangle, and pentagon) are all based of pyramids, not cones. Cones have to have a circular base because otherwise they'd be pyramids.
