If the ratio of kids who know how to swim is 6:10, that means that 60% of the schools population knows how to swim.  So you can multiply 350 by 0.60 to get 210 kids.  

You can show why the calculation is true since 6/10 = x/350.  We can say the two ratios are equal since 6/10 ratio holds true for every group of 10 that leading up to a total number of 350.  (you can have 35 groups of 10 each one having a 6 to 10 ratio.  (6/10)x(35/35)=210/350

210 because if you multiply 10 by 35 to get 350 you have to multiply 6 by 35 then you get 210

An engineer is designing a fuel tank in the shape of a cylinder. The tank must have a volume of 3,500 cubic inches. The height o
elena-s [515]

Answer: 24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the radius be represented by x

Therefore, the height will be = 2×x = 2x

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

where, Volume = 3500

π = 3.14

r = x

h = 2x

We then slot in the values into the formula

Volume = πr²h

3500 = 3.14 × x² × 2x

3500 = 3.14 × 2x²

2x² = 3500 / 3.14

2x² = 1114.65

Divide through by 2

x² = 1114.65 / 2

x² = 557

x = ✓557

x = 23.6 = 24 approximately

The radius is 24 inches

if PQ=21 cm and QR=5cm, then what are the possible lengths for PR so that line PQ, line QR, and line PR can form a triangle? exp
postnew [5]
PR must be less than 26cm as PQ + QR = 26cm

PR must be more than 16cm as PD- QR = 16cm

At both those limits the sides would lay on top of each other.

Solve for r. You must write your answer in fully simplified form.<br> -20 = -15r
nevsk [136]

Answer:

r = 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-20 = -15r

Divide both sides by -15.

-20 / -15 = r

The negatives cancel, so

20 / 15 = r

Simplify by taking 5 out of the numerator and denominator. 20/5 = 4, 15/5 = 3.

4 / 3 = r

<u>So r = 4/3.</u>
