Answer: 11 feet


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The diameter of the Ferris wheel= 140 ft.

We know that the circumference of the circle is given by :-

\text{Circumference}=\pi d, where d is the diameter.

Therefore, the circumference of the Ferris wheel=\pi(140)=3.14\times140=439.6\ feet

If there are 40 cars for riders, and they are placed at even intervals around the Ferris wheel.

Then, the distance between the cars=439.6\div 40=10.99\approx11\ feet

The circumference of a Ferris wheel:
C = 2 r π
C = 2 · 70 · 3.14
C = 439.6 ft
439.6 : 40 = 10.99 ≈ 11 ft
Answer:
The cars are placed approximately 11 ft apart.

One number is 6 times another number. it is also 12 more than twice the other number. Find the numbers.
stepan [7]

The numbers are 3 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let one number be x. Then the other number = 6x.

Also, 6x = 12 + 2x

⇒ 4x = 12

⇒ x = 3

⇒ 6x = 18

Can you please help me.<br><br><br> 6 = 4x + 9y<br><br> slove for y
kow [346]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

↔Start of with your 'solution section' to make sure you have the right things↔

↔Solution 1 ➡ 4(x) + 9(y) = 16  

↔Solution 2 ➡ 6(x) - 9(y) = 8

-----------------------------------------------------------------

▪Looking for the value of the 'x'-intercept ⬇▪

◾4 (3) (y) / 2 + 4/ 3 + 9(y) = 16  

◾15(y) = 32 / 3  

◾ 45(y) = 32

▪x-intercept: 32

-----------------------------------------------------------------

◾Looking for value of the 'y'-intercept ◾

◾45(y) = 32   

◾y-intercept : 45

 ◾x = 3(y)/2+4/3 which is translated to this, am i correct? ➡ (y) = 32/45

-----------------------------------------------------------------

↪ Now, we have finally found both of their intercept ⬇

↪x-intercept: 12

↪y-intercept: 5

↪Or you can even say the intercepts in other words. Here's what I am talking about if in case you don't know what I am saying

↪x-intercept: 32✅

↪y-intercept✅

Write these numbers from least to greatest -0.615, -5/8, -0.62
inna [77]
Well -5/8 as a decimal would be -0.625.
So, the order would be -0.615 -0.62(0) and then -5/8 (or -0.625).
You could easily search up 5/8 as a decimal :)

Cannon balls for an antique cannon are stacked next to it in four layers to form a square pyramid. How many cannon balls are in
labwork [276]
The amount of balls in a given layer can be found by squaring the layer it is in

4 layers
top layer (1st) is 1
2nd is 4
3rd layer is 9
4th is 16

add them up
1+4+9+16=30

30 in that pyramid

Let K and T be the current ages of two siblings, Katie and Thomas. Katie is currently twice the age of Thomas. In 6 years, Katie
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Katie is 6 years old and Thomas is 3 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we should let K and T be the current ages of two siblings, Katie and Thomas.

If Katie is currently twice the age of Thomas then,

K = 2T

and in  6 years, Katie will be 4 times Thomas's current age then

K + 6 = 4T

Solving both equations simultaneously by substituting the value of K given in the first equation into the second

2T + 6 = 4T

Collect like terms

6 = 4T - 2T

6 = 2T

Divide both sides by 2

T = 3

Recall that K = 2T

K = 2 * 3

= 6

Hence Katie is 6 years old while Thomas is 3 years old
