By definition, the slope is the inclination of a line in relation to the horizontal. It can be expressed in degrees, ratios and even in percent. Therefore, you can calculate it by applying the following formula:

P%=(H/L)x100

P% is the slope expressed in percent.
H is the height (H=1.2 meters).
L is the length (L=4 meters).

When you substitute these values into the formula P%=(H/L)x100, you obtain the slope of the skateboard ramp:

P%=(H/L)x100
P%=(1.2 meter/4 meters)x100
P%=0.30x100
P%=30%

George is cooking an elaborate meal. He can only cook one thing at a time in his microwave oven. His turkey takes 90 minutes; t

AysviL [449]

<h2>Answer :</h2>

He need 111.75 minutes to cook the meal
He need to start at 2.08.15 P.M. in order to complete the cooking at 4 P.M.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation :</h2><h3>Known :</h3>

George can only cook one thing at a time
Turkey takes 90 minutes to cook
Pumpkin pie takes 20 minutes to cook
Rolls take 60 seconds to cook
A cup of coffee takes 45 seconds to heat

<h3>Asked :</h3>

Time needed to cook the meal
Time he need to start in order to complete the cooking at 4 P.M.

<h3>Completion :</h3>

Let's convert all the seconds to minutes. We know that 60 seconds is equal to one minute. So,

60 seconds = 1 minutes

45 seconds = 45/60 minutes = 0.75 minutes

Time needed = Turkey + Pumpkin pie + Rolls + Coffee

Time needed = 90 + 20 + 1 + 0.75

Time needed = 111.75 minutes

Then, we'll calculate the time he need to start in order to complete the cooking at 4 P.M. First, let's convert the minutes to clock format.

111.75 minutes = 1 hour and 51.75 minutes

111.75 minutes = 1 hour and 51 minutes and 45 seconds

Lastly, calculate the time he need to start in order to complete the cooking at 4 P.M.

4h 0m 0s - 1h 51m 45s = 2h 8m 15s

<h3>Conclusion :</h3>

He need 111.75 minutes to cook the meal
He need to start at 2.08.15 P.M. in order to complete the cooking at 4 P.M.

Plllzzz im new and i neeed help

ella [17]

Answer:

4082

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The composite object

Required

The volume

The object is a mix of a cone and a hemisphere

Such that:

<u>Cone</u>

$r = 10cm$ ---- radius (r = 20/2)

$h = 19cm$

<u>Hemisphere</u>

$r=10cm$

The volume of the cone is:

$V_1 = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

$V_1 = \frac{1}{3}\pi * 10^2 * 19$

$V_1 = \frac{1900}{3}\pi$

The volume of the hemisphere is:

$V_2 = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$

$V_2 = \frac{2}{3}\pi 10^3$

$V_2 = \frac{2000}{3}\pi$

So, the volume of the object is:

$V = V_1 + V_2$

$V = \frac{1900}{3}\pi + \frac{2000}{3}\pi$

$V = \frac{3900}{3}\pi$

$V = 1300\pi$

$V = 1300 * 3.14$

$V = 4082$
