One number is 3/8 of another number. The difference of the two numbers is 4.2. What is the lesser number

Mathematics
1 answer:
boyakko [2]3 years ago

Answer:

2.52.

Step-by-step explanation:

If one number is x then the other = 3x/8.

Also x - 3x / 8 = 4.2

x - 0.375 x = 4.2

0.625x = 4.2

x = 4.2 / 0.625

x = 6.72.

So the lesser number is 6.72 * 0.375 = 2.52.

820 round to the nearest hundred
grandymaker [24]
Hello! Seeings 20 is less than 50, you then need to round down. If its over 50 then you round up! So if you have 14 its rounded to 10. And if you have 16 round it to 20. So 820 is rounded to 800.

What is the volume of corn held in this cone-shaped grain silo? Use 3.14 for π and round to the nearest cubic foot. Enter your a
babymother [125]

Answer:

V = 301 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by

V =1/3 pi r^2 h

We know pi = 3.14 r =6 and

We need to determine h

We can find h from the Pythagorean theorem where 6 is a leg and 10 is the hypotenuse

h^2 +6^2 = 10^2

h^2 +36 = 100

h^2 = 64

Taking the square root of each side

h = 8

V =1/3 pi r^2 h

V = 1/3 (3.14) (6)^2 * 8

V = 301.44 ft^3

Rounding to the nearest cubic foot

V = 301 ft^3

algol [13]

Use compound interest formula

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow P(1+r/100)^t=500

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 100(1+0.25)^t=500

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow (1.25)^t=5

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow log(1.25)^t=log5

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow tlog1.25=log5

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow t(0.097)=0.3

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow t=3.3\approx 3
