Answer:

60 maths books

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let the following be:</u>

  • Maths books = m
  • Science books = s
  • History books = h

<u>And we have ratios and sum:</u>

  • m/s = 3/2
  • s/h = 1/3
  • m+s+h = 220

<u>From the ratios we get:</u>

  • m = 3s/2
  • h= 3s

<u>Considering the above in the sum of books:</u>

  • m+s+h = 220
  • 3s/2 + s + 3s = 220
  • 3s + 2s + 6s = 2*220
  • 11s = 440
  • s = 440/11
  • s = 40

<u>Number of maths books:</u>

  • m = 3s/2 = 3*40/2 = 60

the larger of two positive numbers is 5 more then the smaller. The product of the numbers is 66. find the numbers
Serjik [45]

Answer: 30.5 and 35.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a system of linear equations to find out the answer to this problem. The larger number will be x and the smaller number will be y.

x=y+5

x+y=66

Substitute y+5 in for the bottom equation to get y+5+y=66. Simplify to get 2y+5=66. Subtract 5 from both sides and get 2y=61. Divide by 2 to get y=30.5. This is the smaller number. Add 5 to get the bigger number, which is 35.5

The volume of a ball is 288pi cm cubed. Find the dimensions of a rectangular box that is just large enough to hold the ball.
asambeis [7]

Answer:

r = 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is 288 pi cm tripled . Find the lenght of a radius of a SPHERE.What is the answer and how did you do it?

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

The volume of a sphere of radius r is:

V+=+4%2Api%2Ar%5E3%2F3

It's r cubed, not tripled. meaning r*r*r

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

288pi+=+4%2Api%2Ar%5E3%2F3

864+=+4r%5E3

r%5E3+=+216

r = 6 cm
