If these two cans have geometrically similar (their measurements are proportional), then we can take the ratio of the radius and height:
small can height / large can height = small can radius / large can radius
2.5 / 4 = x / 2.4
x = 1.5 inches
Therefore the radius of the small can is 1.5 inches.

\dfrac{\text{large can height}}{\text{small can height}} =  \dfrac{\text{large can radius}}{\text{small can radius}}

Substitute the known values into the variables:

\dfrac{4}{2.5} =  \dfrac{2.4}{\text{small can radius}}

\text{small can radius} =  \dfrac{2.4 \times 2.5}{4}

\text{small can radius} = 1.5 \text{ inches}

1. Three apples, a, and two peaches, p, sell for $1.25.
Simora [160]

Answer:

$0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use systems of equations to solve this.

3a+2p = 1.25

5a+p = 1.5

Multiply the second equation by 2.

3a+2p = 1.25

10a+2p = 3

Subtract the bottom from the top

-7a= -1.75

Divide by -7

a= 0.25

Each apple is $0.25 (in this case, the peach also costs $0.25)

16 pi?  well... 16 pi = 50.2654824574. So... the diameter would be 16 and the radius would be 8. I think!
