Answer:

The volume of the softball is  6.6 times the volume of the tennis ball

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a sphere is equal to

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

step 1

Find the volume of the softball

we have

r=3.75\ cm

substitute

V=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(3.75)^{3}=220.8\ cm^{3}

step 2

Find the volume of the tennis ball

we have

r=2\ cm

substitute

V=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(2)^{3}=33.5\ cm^{3}

step 3

Divide the volume of the softball by the volume of the tennis ball

220.8\ cm^{3}/33.5\ cm^{3}=6.6

therefore

The volume of the softball is  6.6 times the volume of the tennis ball

<em>Alternative Method</em>

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

The scale factor is equal to the ratio of its radius

\frac{3.75}{2}=1.875

therefore

The scale factor elevated to the cube is

1.875^{3}=6.6

therefore

The volume of the softball is  6.6 times the volume of the tennis ball

What was the original cost of the jacket.
True [87]

Answer:

  (c)  $80

Step-by-step explanation:

Each discounted price corresponds to the original price multiplied by a factor related to the discount. For a discount fraction of 'd', the multiplier is (1 -d).

This means you can use any of the lines in the table to find the original price.

  <u>5% disount</u>: (1 -5%)·p = $76 . . . . where p is the original price

     p = $76/0.95 = $80 . . . . . . . the original price

  <u>10% discount</u>: (1 -10%)·p = $72

     p = $72/0.90 = $80

  <u>25% discount</u>: (1 -25%)·p = $60

     p = $60/0.75 = $80

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The table values for 5% and 10% differ by 5% and $4. That means 5% of the original price is $4. There are two things you can do with this:

  • add back that 5% to the 5%-discounted price: $76 +4 = $80
  • multiply that 5% by 20 to get 100% of the original price: 20(5%) = 20($4) ⇒ 100% = $80.

On a coordinate plane, a piecewise function has 3 lines. The first line has a closed circle at (negative 3, negative 4) and cont
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:Answer:

f(-2) = 2

f(0) = 3

f (4) = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the straight line passing through the points (0,3) and (-4,1) is  

⇒ 2(y - 1) = x + 4

⇒ 2y - 2 = x + 4

⇒ 2y = x + 6

⇒  

Again, the equation of the line passing through the points (0,1) and (4,-1) is

⇒ - 2 ( y + 1) = x - 4

⇒ - 2y = x - 2

⇒  

Therefore, the function is defined as

for x ≤ 0 ........... (1) and  

for x > 0 ............ (2)

Therefore, f(-2) = 2 from equation (1).

f(0) = 3 from equation (1)

And f (4) = -1 from equation (2). (Answer)

Vinvika [58]
The answer is:  [C]:  "30%" .
_____________________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________________
Note that: "%" ; or "percent" means "out of 100" ; or "divided by 100" .
______________________________________________________
Method 1) 

15/50 = ?/ 100 ;

Look at the denominators:

50 * (what value?) = 100 ? ;  → "100 ÷ 50 = 2" ;

→ 50 * 2 = 100 ;

So:  "15/50 = (15*2)/(50*2) = "30/100" ; which is "30%" .
___________________________________________
Method 2:
___________________________________________
 "15/50" = (15÷5) / (50÷5) = 3/10 ; 

3/10 = (3*10) / (10*10) = 30/100 ; which is:  "30%" .
__________________________________________
Method 3:  (slight variation of "Method 2" above):
___________________________________________
 "15/50" = (15÷5) / (50÷5) = 3/10 ; 

3/10 = 0.3 = 0.30 = (0.30 * 100) % =  " 30% " .
