A.) Since there are no restrictions as to the dimensions of the candle except that their volumes must equal 1 cubic foot and that each must be a cylinder, we have the freedom to decide the candles' dimensions. 

I decided to have the candles equal in volume. So, 1 cubic foot divided by 8 gives us 0.125 cubic foot, 216 in cubic inches.

With each candle having a volume of 216 cubic inches, I assign a radius to each: 0.5 in, 1.0 in, 1.5 in, 2.0 in, 2.5 in, 3.0 in, 3.5 in, and 4.0 in. Then, using the formula of the volume of a cylinder, which is:

V=pi(r^2)(h)

we then solve the corresponding height per candle. Let us let the value of pi be 3.14.

Hence, we will have the following heights (expressed to the nearest hundredths) for each of the radius: for 

r=2.5 in: h=11.01 in
r=3.0 in: h= 7.64 in
r=3.5 in: h= 5.62 in
r=4.0 in: h= 4.30 in
r=4.5 in: h= 3.40 in
r=5.0 in: h= 2.75 in
r=5.5 in: h= 2.27 in
r=6.0 in: h= 1.91 in

b. each candle should sell for $15.00 each

($20+$100)/8=$15.00

c. yes, because the candles are priced according to the volume of wax used to make them, which in this case, is just the same for all sizes

Theoretically, if a month is chosen 300 times,
horsena [70]

Answer:

75 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well there are 12 months and 3 of them start with the letter J, so theoretically, 25% of the months chosen will start with the letter J because \frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}, which is 25%. 25% of 300 (or \frac{300}{4}, for those who like fractions) is 75, so theoretically, we can expect a month that starts with the letter J 75 times.

Hope this helps!

The length of an alligator in a zoo is 14 5/6 feet.The everglades national parks list the longest alligator ever reocord in flor
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The difference in the lengths of the two alligators = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us make the lengths improper fractions, then we will find the difference from there.

Alligator 1:

Length = 14\frac{5}{12} = \frac{173}{12}

To convert to improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, and then add the denominator [(12 × 14) + 5]

Alligator 2:

Length = 17\frac{5}{12} = \frac{209}{12}

Now Let us find the difference between the lengths:

\frac{209}{12} - \frac{173}{12} = \frac{36}{12} =3

Therefore the difference in the lengths of the two alligators = 3
