Answer:

There were 186 Springfield robberies in 2011

Step-by-step explanation:

Think about what happens when you double a number.

You multiply it by 2. Since it's been doubles, we say is has had a 100% increase.

Likewise a 50% increase correlates to multiply by 1.5

Since we are trying to find the previous amount that experienced the increase, we divide by 1.5 to find the original amount because that amount*1.5 gives us 279.

Calling the original <em>r</em>, it is clear that 1.5<em>r</em>=279.

Solving for <em>r, </em>we find the original # of robberies to be 186.

Find the volume of each figure. Simplify your answers.
Lerok [7]

Answer:

98.28\:\mathrm{ft^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by V=l\cdot w\cdot h, where l is the length of the prism, w is the width of the prism, and h is the height of the prism.

Substituting given values, we get:

V=2.5\cdot 4.25\cdot 9.25=98.28125\approx \boxed{98.28\:\mathrm{ft^3}}

Since "Simplify your answers" is very subjective, I've rounded to the nearest hundredth as that is reasonably universal, but you may need to adjust the rounding as desired.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

volume of the cone = 247.98 cubic meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the cone= 11.7 m

Circumference= 9 m

Radius= 9/2= 4.5 m

Volume of the cone;

            =\pi r^2\frac{h}{3}

As, \pi =\frac{22}{7}= 3.14

Putting the values in the formula:

Volume of the cone  is:

         =3.14*(4.5*4.5)*\frac{11.7}{3} \\\\=3.14*(4.5*4.5)*3.9\\\\=3.14*20.25*3.9\\\\=3.14*78.98\\\\=247.98m^3

The volume of the cone is 247.98 cubic meter

Shane has 1/2 pound of cheese to make 4 sandwiches. He wants to use the same amount of cheese in each sandwich. What fraction of
anastassius [24]

Answer:

The fraction of one pound of cheese to be used in each sandwich is 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have a question that requires the method of dealing with the division of fractions.

To divide a fraction by a whole number, we multiply the denominator of the fraction by the whole number as follows;

\frac{x}{y} \div z =\frac{x}{y\times z}

Quantity of cheese Shane has = 1/2 pound

Number of sandwiches to be made = 4

Amount of cheese per sandwich = 1/2÷4 = 1/8.
