The answer is C. 4/-6. Fraction laws say that it doesn't matter if the negative sign is in front of the numerator or denominator to make it negative. Answer choices A and B switch the numerator and denominator, making them different fractions, and answer choice D takes away the negative sign, making it worth a different value.

I hope this helps :)

A scoop of ice cream has 1.5 inch radius. How talk should the cream cone of the same radius be in order to contain all of the ic

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The cream cone should be 6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A scoop of ice cream has 1.5 inch radius.

Now, to find the height of the cream cone.

So, we need to get the volume of scoop by putting formula:

Radius (r) = 1.5 inch.

Using the value π = 3.14.

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

$Volume=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times 1.5^3\\\\Volume=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times 3.375\\\\Volume=14.13\ inches^3.$

Thus, the volume of the ice cream scoop is 14.13 cubic inches.

So, to put all of the ice cream inside the cone.

We take the cream cone volume as the scoop volume.

Let the height of cone be $h.$

As, given radius is same.

Now, to get the height of the cream cone we put formula of volume:

$Volume=\pi r^2\frac{h}{3}$

$14.13=3.14 \times (1.5)^2\times \frac{h}{3}\\\\14.13=3.14\times 2.25\times \frac{h}{3}$

Multiplying both sides by 3 we get:

$42.39=3.14\times 2.25\times h\\\\42.39=7.065\times h$

Dividing both sides by 7.065 we get:

$6=h$

$h=6\ inches.$

Hence, the height of the cone = 6 inches.

Therefore, the cream cone should be 6 inches.

Janine babysits for $14.50 per hour. She also works as a dishwasher at her family's restaurant for $9.50 per hour. Her family ne

FrozenT [24]

The system of inequalities are
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140
7 ≤ y ≤ 10
x + y ≤ 15
2) 14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140 represents the total amount of money Janine can earn
7 ≤ y ≤ 10 represents the range of values, Janine can spend dishwashing
x + y ≤ 15 represents the total number of hours Janine will like to work each week
3) 8 hours babysitting, 7 hours dishwashing
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The amount per hour Janine makes from babysits = $14.50
The amount per hour Janine makes from dishwashing = $9.50
The minimum number of hours Janine can spend dishwashing = 7 hours
The maximum number of hours Janine can spend dishwashing = 10 hours
The maximum number of hours Janine can work each week = 7 hours
The minimum amount she wants to make each week = $140
Let x represent the number of hours Janine spends babysitting and let y represent the number of hours Janine spends dishwashing
1) From the question, we have;
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140
7 ≤ y ≤ 10
x + y ≤ 15
2) Where
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140 represents the total amount of money Janine can earn
7 ≤ y ≤ 10 represents the range of values, Janine can spend dishwashing
x + y ≤ 15 represents the total number of hours Janine will like to work each week
Making, y, the subject of the formula of the above inequalities and plotting as functions is given as follows;
y ≥ 140/9.5 - (14.5/9.5)·x
y ≤ 15 - x
3) In order to earn as much money as possible given that the amount Janine earns from babysitting is more than the amount she earns from dishwashing, Janine should spend the least amount of time dishwashing, which is 7 hours, as given, and then spend the remaining 8 hours babysitting to receive $14.5 × 8 + $9.5×7 = $182.5
