Answer:

a. $ 1.11

b. $ 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The volume of the ball is the volume considering all it (1.2 in diameter) less the volume considering the 0.4 in thick.

V = (4/3)πrb³ - (4/3)πrt³

Where rb is the radius of the ball (0.6 in) and rt is the thick (0.4 in)

V = (4/3)π(0.6)³ - (4/3)π(0.4)³

V = 0.637 in³

For 50 balls, the volume is 50*0.637 = 31.85 in³

So, the cost to produce 1 case is:

$0.035/in³ * 31.85 in³ = $ 1.11

b. The profit is the difference between sales and cost, so for one ball:

P = 0.10 - 0.035*0.637

P = $ 0.08

3 Caleb claims that when you multiply a number by 10, you can just write a 0 at the right end of the number. Caleb gives the exa
devlian [24]

Answer:

They are both correct

Step-by-step explanation:

It's interpretation of the concept. In common practice multiplying by 10 means you add a zero and that's what we teach 10 year olds. But what does adding a zero mean? It means adding a place value and that's what you learn when you are

So in both examples just add a decimal:

2.0 x 10 = 20.

0.2 x 10 = 2.0

In conclusion, it depends on the level of precision required in the discussion and the level of maturity as to who is correct in their examples. If you are teaching 3rd graders math, by all means you add a zero. If you are discussing physics you are shifting over a place value.
