Given:
child = 2 forks
adult = 5 forks
total number of forks = 2992
total number of people = 764

c + a = 764
2c + 5a = 2992

find the value of c using the 1st equation.

c = 764 - a

substitute c in the 2nd equation by its value

2c + 5a = 2992
2(764-a) + 5a = 2992

1528 - 2a + 5a = 2992
1528 + 3a = 2992
3a = 2992 - 1528
3a = 1464
3a/3 = 1464/3
a = 488

c = 764 - a
c = 764 - 488
c = 276

child = 276 ; adult = 488

2c + 5a = 2992
2(276) + 5(488) = 2992
552 + 2440 = 2992
2992 = 2992

Find the volume of a cone with a diameter of 12 m and a height of 6 m.
castortr0y [4]

Answer: D. 72 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone is Volume = pi times radius squared and then times the height, and then divided by 3.

Since the diameter is 12, the radius is 6. Applying the formula, 6 squared is 36, times pi is 36 pi. The height is 6 so 36 * 6 = 216.

But be careful, we're not done yet... We still have to divide by 3

216 / 3 = 72

we can be sure this answer is correct because the other answers are clearly too big

here's your answer, hope this helps :)
