Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

(1/3) x = (5/6)

Discussion:

I think you are asking for this equation:

(1/3) x = (5/6) => multiply both sides by 3

(1/3) 3 x = (5/6) 3 => as (1/3) *3 = 1

x = 5*3/6

x= 15/6

x = 5/2 = 2.5

Thank you,

MrB

A sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 27 pi feet cubed.

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

C. V = two-thirds (27)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Solid Shapes: Cylinder and Sphere

Volume of Cylinder = 27π ft³

Required

Volume of the sphere.

From the question,

We have that

1. The volume of the sphere is the same as the volume of the cylinder

2. The height of the sphere is the same as the height of the cylinder.

From (2) above;

This means that the height of the cylinder equals the diameter of the sphere.

Let h represent the height of the sphere and d represent the diameter of sphere.

Mathematical, d = h

Recall that radius, r = $r = \frac{d}{2}$

Substitute h for d in the above expression

$r = \frac{h}{2}$ . ----- (take note of this)

Calculating the volume of a cylinder.

V = πr²h

Recall that V = 27; This gives us

27 = πr²h

Divide both sides by h

$\pi r^2 = \frac{27}{h}$

-------------------

Calculating the volume of a sphere

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

Expand the above expression

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^2 * r$

Substitute $\pi r^2 = \frac{27}{h}$

$V = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{27}{h} * r$

Recall that $r = \frac{h}{2}$

So,

$V = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{27}{h} * \frac{h}{2}$

$V = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{27}{2}$

$V = \frac{2}{3} * 27$

$V = \frac{2}{3} (27)$

V = two-third (27)

A merchant sold a pen for $6.90 ,thereby making a profit of 15% on her cost calculate the cost of the pen to the merchant to the

NeTakaya

So you know the merchant made a 15% profit on the pen, so she bought it for a cheaper price. To find the cost of the pen before you have to take the price now, $6.90 and times it by 85%. You do 85% because you subtract the 15% she saved from 100% and you get 85%. So 6.90x.85= 5.865 which rounds to $5.87

How do I go about solving (27x^3/8y^9)^5/3? And what is the role of the numerator and denominator?

MrRissso [65]

$\left( \frac{27x^3}{8y^9}\right)^ \frac{5}{3} \\\\\\ =\left( \frac{(3x)^3}{(2y^3)^3}\right)^ \frac{5}{3} \\\\\\ = \frac{(3x)^{3 \times \frac{5}{3} }}{(2y^3)^{3 \times \frac{5}{3} }} \\\\\\ =\frac{(3x)^5}{(2y^3)^{5 }} \\\\\\ =\frac{243x^5}{32y^{15}}$

Now, If the exponent was negative like you asked....

$\left( \frac{27x^3}{8y^9}\right)^ {-\frac{5}{3}} \\\\\\ =\left( \frac{8y^9}{27x^3}\right)^ {\frac{5}{3}}\\\\\\ =\left( \frac{(2y^3)^3}{(3x)^3}\right)^ \frac{5}{3} \\\\\\ = \frac{(2y^3)^{3 \times \frac{5}{3} }}{(3x)^{3 \times \frac{5}{3} }} \\\\\\ =\frac{(2y^3)^{5 }}{(3x)^5} \\\\\\ =\frac{32y^{15}}{243x^5}$

Write an equation of the line. Express the answer using either the general form or the slope-intercept form of the equation of

Georgia [21]

Answer:

y = x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a line is y = mx+b

m is the slope

b is the y intercept

Get the slope

Using the coordinate points (4, 0) and (0, -4)

m = -4-0/0-4

m = -4/-4

m = 1

Since the line cuts the y axis at y = -4, the y-intercept b = -4

Get the equation;

Since y = mx+b

y = 1x + (-4)

y = x - 4

This gives the required equation
