Answer:

The answer to your question is 7 2/3 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

3 1/3 gallons brown paint

2 5/6 gallons of yellow paint

1 1/2 gallons of red paint

Process

To find the total gallons of paint left, just sum up all the gallons of paint

1.- Convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions

3 1/3 = (9 + 1) / 3 = 10/3

2 5/6 = (12 + 5) / 6 = 17/6

1 1/2 = (2 + 1) / 2 = 3/2

2.- Find the least common factor

           2  3  6   2

            1  3  3    3

                1   1

    LCF = 2 x 3 = 6

3,. Sum of the fractions

         10/3 + 17/6 + 3/2 =  (20 + 17 + 9) / 6

                                     = 46 / 6

                                     = 7 4/6

                                     = 7 2/3

4.- Brent has left 7 2/3 gallons of paints

the ratio of the number of womens shoes to the number of mens shoes in a shoe store is 12:7. What fraction of the shoes are mens
stira [4]

7/19 are the fraction of men's shoes

explanation + example:

Use the total number as the denominator: 6 + 8 = 14

Use each of the ratio terms as the numerator in a fraction:

6 becomes 6/14

8 becomes 8/14

Reduce each fraction to lowest terms:

6/14 simplifies to 3/7

8/14 simplifies to 4/7

The part-to-part ratio 6 : 8 converts into the fractions:

6/14 = 3/7

8/14 = 4/7

An icicle with a diameter of 15.5 centimeters at the top, tapers down in the shape of a cone with a length of
Helga [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: I will leave the answers as fraction and in terms of pi unless the question states rounding conditions to ensure maximum precision.

From the question, we can tell it is a inversed-cone (upside down)

Volume of Cone = \pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3}

a) Given Diameter , d = 15.5cm and Length , h = 350cm,

we first find the radius.

r = \frac{d}{2} \\=\frac{15.5}{2} \\=7.75cm

We will now find the volume of the cone.

Volume of cone  \pi (7.75)^{2} \frac{350}{3} \\= \frac{168175\pi }{24}

We know the density of ice is 0.93 grams per 1cm^{3}

1cm^{3} =0.93g\\\frac{168175\pi }{24}  cm^{3} =0.93(\frac{168175\pi }{24} )\\= 20473 g(Nearest Gram)

b) After 1 hour, we know that the new radius = 7.75cm - 0.35cm = 7.4cm

and the new length, h = 350cm - 15cm = 335cm

Now we will find the volume of this newly-shaped cone.

Volume of cone = \pi (7.4)^{2} \frac{335}{3} \\= \frac{91723\pi }{15} cm^{3}

Volume of cone being melted = New Volume - Original volume

= \frac{168175\pi }{24} -\frac{91723\pi }{15} \\= \frac{35697\pi }{40} cm^{3}

c) Lets take the bucket as a round cylinder.

Given radius of bucket, r = 12.5cm (Half of Diameter) and h , height = 30cm.

Volume of cylinder = \pi r^{2} h\\=\pi (12.5)^{2} (30)\\=\frac{9375\pi }{2} cm^{3}

To overflow the bucket, the volume of ice melted must be more than the bucket volume.

Volume of ice melted after 5 hours = 5(\frac{35697\pi }{40} )\\=\frac{35697\pi }{8} cm^{3}

See, from here of course you are unable to tell whether the bucket will overflow as all are in fractions, but fret not, we can just find the difference.

Volume of bucket - Volume of ice melted after 5 hours

= \frac{9375\pi }{2} -\frac{35697\pi }{8 } \\=\frac{1803\pi }{8}cm^{3}

from we can see the bucket can still hold more melted ice even after 5 hours therefore it will not overflow.

If both diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other when is the quadrilateral a parallelogram?
slamgirl [31]
It is more than just a quadrilateral. In fact it is going to be hard to pick.

These facts suit a square,  a rectangle, a rhombus, and a parallelogram. And the above statement is true, but maybe a little harder to prove than the converse of the statement, which is the usual one you find.

The converse is "If you have a parallelagram, the diagonals bisect each other."

You might think a trapezoid deserves some mention. The diagonals of a trapezoid do not bisect each other.

98.75 + 5% sales tax
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

103.69

Step-by-step explanation:

5% of 98.75 is about 4.94. So if you were to do money, it'd be 98.75 + 4.94, which equals about 103.69.
