Our first instinct is to go through every step ...

-- calculate the volume of the bowl
-- calculate the volume of the ladle
-- divide the volume of the bowl by the volume of the ladle

and we may even start down that path.  But we soon realize that
it's going to be painful and take a lot of time.  So we stop right
where we are, and consider our options. 
We have two options: 
            #1). Give up, quit, and walk away. 
            #2). Find a smarter way to do it.

Look at the formula for the volume of a sphere:

           Volume = (4/3 π) (radius³) .

Do you see that ?  The radius³ is a factor in the volume of
every sphere.  That means that if you multiply the radius
of a sphere by (a number), the volume of the sphere gets
multiplied by (the same number)³ ! 

How does that help us with this problem ?  Well, it also means
that the ratio of the volumes of two spheres is

                         (the ratio of their radii)³.

Radius of the bowl  =  15 inches
Radius of the ladle  =   4 inches
Ratio of their radii  =  (15/4)  =  3.75

 
  So the bowl holds  (3.75)³  as much as the ladle holds.

  
(3.75)³  =  52.73 ...

  
The bowl holds  52.73 ... times as much as the ladle.

   After Grandma Edith scoops 52 ladle-fulls from the bowl,
there will be less than 1 ladle-full remaining in there. 

And we did it all without even knowing π .

1) we calculate the volume of the big punch bowl
Volume (half sphere)=(1/2)(4/3)πr³=2/3πr³
radius=30 cm / 2=15 cm

Volume=(2/3)π(15 cm)³=2250π cm³

2) we calculate the volume of the ladle:
radius=8 cm/2=4 cm
Volume=(2/3)π(4 cm)³=128π/3 cm³

3) we calculate the number of ladles by the rule of three.
1 ladle----------------------128π/3 cm³
x------------------------------2250π cm³

x=(1 ladle * 2250π cm³) / (128π/3 cm³)=52.73 ladles≈52 ladles

Answer: 52 ladles.

On a scale drawing, a helicopter is 2.3 feet long. The scale on the drawing shows a ratio of 1 foot to 10 feet. What is the actu
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The actual length of the helicopter is <u>23 feet</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

On a scale drawing, a helicopter is 2.3 feet long.

The scale on the drawing shows a ratio of 1 foot to 10 feet.

Now, to find the actual length of the helicopter.

Let the actual length of helicopter be x.

On scale drawing length of helicopter = 2.3 feet.

The scale on the drawing shows a ratio = 1:10.

Now, as ratios are given so by setting proportion we solve it:

\frac{2.3}{x} =\frac{1}{10}

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

⇒ 2.3\times 10=x

⇒ 23=x

⇒ x=23\ feet.

Therefore, the actual length of the helicopter is 23 feet.

BlackZzzverrR [31]
6(x - \frac{7}{6} ) = 6 x - 7 \\ 6x - 7 = 6x + ( - 7)
The answer is the third option, -7.

Can someone help on this? Please :)
Aleks04 [339]

answer:

N(t)=2×1.7^{t}

17

15

step by step explain:

before lesson (t=0), she knows 2 words.

after a week (t=1), she knows

2×(1+70%)=3.4 words

after one more week (t=2), she knows

3.4×(1+70%)=5.78 words

one more week later (t=3), she knows

5.78×(1+70%)=9.826 words

and so on ...

from pattern shown above, we know that she knows

2×1.7^{t} words after t weeks

so N(t)=2×1.7^{t}

after 4 weeks (t=4), she knows 2×1.7^{4}=16.7042≈17 words

for learning 5000 words, she need:

2×1.7^{t}=5000

   1.7^{t}=2500

t log(1.7)=log(2500)

         t=\frac{log(2500)}{log(1.7)}

          =14.7448727

          ≈15 (round up)
