Im not 100% sure but im pretty sure you are right brother! God bless...Good luck!
60=5k
Is the equation because the word 'is' means equals, so we add an equal sign after the 60. "Five times greater" simply means multiply so we multiply 5 and k.
Then to solve the equation, you would need to divide both sides by 5 to isolate the variable
60/5=5k/5
12=k
I hope this helped!
This is the concept of scale factors, we are required to calculate for the volume of the smaller solid if the larger solid has a volume of 1975.
Area scale factor=(linear scale factor)^2
thus;
Area scale factor=(area of larger solid)/(area of smaller solid)=1057/384
linear scale factor=√(1057/384)=5.7019
the volume scale factor=(linear scale factor)^3=[volume of larger solid]/[volume of smaller solid]
The volume scale factor=(5.7019)^3=185.3772
therefore;
volume of smaller solid=[volume of larger solid]/[volume scale factor]
=1795/185.3772
=9.683
The answer is 9.683 yd^3
