KEVIN BOUGHT 3 POUNDS OF TRI-TIP FROM B STREET BUTCHERS FOR $29.97 AND ARNOLD BOUGHT 4 POUNDS OF TRI-TIP FROM MEL"S MEAT MARKET

FOR $35.96.
KEVIN BELIEVES HE GOT THE BETTER DEAL, BUT ARNOLD BELIEVES HE GOT THE BETTER DEAL.

Answer:

Arnold

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to compare, you'd have to find out how much they paid for each pound of tri-tip. So, to do this, you would divide the total amount of money the spent on the pounds by the number of pounds they bought. So for Kevin, you'd divide 29.97 by 3 to get that Kevin paid $9.99 for each pound. For Arnold, you'd divide 35.96 by 4 to get that Arnold paid $8.99 for each pound. And 8.99 is less than 9.99, so Arnold was right.

A builder wants to build the bridge whose cross section is shown in the diagram. Two companies offer simple bids on building the

leva [86]

The length of the bridge is the distance from the beginning to the end.

<em>The distance b between each beam is 9ft.</em>

Let:

<em /> $I \to$ <em> I-Beam</em>

<em /> $d_I \to$ <em> distance between I beam and the bridge</em>

<em /> $b \to$ <em> distance between each I beam</em>

<em />

Given that:

$I = \frac 34 ft\\$

$d_I = 3 ft$

<em /> $Length = 55ft\ 6in$ <em> --- length of the bridge</em>

<em />

From the diagram (see attachment), there are: 6 I-beams.

So, the length of the 6 I-beams is:

$L_1 = 6 \times I$

$L_1 = 6 \times \frac 34$

$L_1 = \frac {18}4$

$L_1 = 4.5ft$

There are 2 I-beams beside the bridge

So, the distance between the 2 I-beams and the bridge is:

$d_1 =2 \times d_I$

$d_1 =2 \times 3ft$

$d_1 =6ft$

There are 5 spaces between the I-beams

So, the length of the total spaces is:

$L_2 = 5 \times b$

$L_2 = 5b$

The total length is:

$Length = L_1 + d_1 + L_2$

So, we have:

$4.5ft + 6ft + 5b = 55ft\ 6in$

Collect like terms

$5b = 55ft\ 6in - 4.5ft - 6ft$

$5b = 44.5ft\ 6in$

Convert inches to feet

$5b = 44.5ft\ + \frac{6}{12}ft$

$5b = 44.5ft\ + 0.5ft$

$5b = 45ft$

Divide both sides by 5

$b = 9ft$

<em>Hence, the distance (b) between each beam is 9ft.</em>

H + 86.43 = 531.79<br><br> h = ___________

dedylja [7]

H= 445.36
because you bring the 86.43 over to the 531.79. which would make 86.43 a negative number. so you subtract 531.79 by 86.43

I need help on number 18

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Volume = 35185.8 $km^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the formula for the volume of a cone: $Volume = \pi R^{2} \frac{h}{3}$

Where R is the radius of the cone's circular base (in your case half of 80 km,(that is 40 km)

And h stands for the height of the cone (in your case 21 km)

We replace such in the formula and calculate its final value:

$Volume = \pi 40^{2} \frac{21}{3} = \pi 1600 \frac{21}{3} = \pi 1600 (7) = 35185.83772...$

We round it to the number of decimals your problem request (let's say to one decimal) and also include the cubic units:

Volume = 35185.8 $km^{3}$
