Answer:

$75\text{ miles, }28\text{ miles}$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: Emma started biking to the coffee shop traveling $15 \text{mph}$ , after some time the bike got a flat so Emma walked the rest of the way, traveling $7 \text{mph}$ If the total trip to the coffee shop took $9 \text{hours}$ and it was $103 \text{miles}$ away.

TO FIND: how long did Emma travel at each speed.

SOLUTION:

Let the distance traveled by Emma through bike is $\text{x}$

Total time taken when traveled by bike $=\frac{\text{x}}{15}$

Distance traveled through feet $=103-\text{x}$

Total time taken when traveled by feet $=\frac{103-\text{x}}{7}$

Now,

Total time taken $=9\text{hours}$

$\frac{\text{x}}{15}+\frac{103-\text{x}}{7}=9$

$8\text{x}=600$

$\text{x}=75$

Distance traveled through feet $=103-75=28\text{miles}$

Hence distance traveled using bike is $75\text{miles}$ and by feet is $28\text{miles}$

Consider this sphere inside the cylinder. Which statements are true? Check all that apply. NEED HELP ASAP

-Dominant- [34]

Option A: The height of the cylinder is equal to the diameter of the sphere.

Option C: The radius of the sphere is half the height of the cylinder.

Option E: The volume of the sphere is two-thirds the volume of the cylinder.

Solution:

The sphere is inside the cylinder.

Let r be the radius of the sphere.

Option A: The height of the cylinder is equal to the diameter of the sphere.

The sphere is fully occupied the cylinder.

If we draw the vertical line through enter of the sphere, which is equal to the height of cylinder.That is h = d. It is true.

Option B: The height of the cylinder is two times the diameter of the sphere.

That is h = 2d. From the above option, we know that h = d.

So, it is not true.

Option C: The radius of the sphere is half the height of the cylinder.

we know that diameter = 2 × radius (d = 2r)

From option A, we have h = d.

Substitute d = 2r, we get

⇒ h = 2r

Divide by 2 on both sides, we get

$$\Rightarrow \frac{h}{2}=r$

Therefore, it is true.

Option D: The diameter of the sphere is equal to the radius of the cylinder.

It is not true, because diameters of both cylinder and sphere are equal.

Option E: The volume of the sphere is two-thirds the volume of the cylinder.

Radius of cylinder and sphere = r

Height of cylinder h = 2r (by option C)

Volume of cylinder = Volume of sphere

$$\Rightarrow \pi r^2 h = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$ (formula)

$$\Rightarrow \pi r^2 (2r) = \frac{2\times2}{3} \pi r^3$

$$\Rightarrow 2 \pi r^3= \frac{2}{3} \times 2\pi r^3$

Hence it is true.

Option A, option C and option E are true.
