A wheel has a diameter of 6 meters. if a rope can completely wrap around the wheel 3 times, what is the length of the rope

1 answer:

8 0

Using the diameter, we can find the circumference of the wheel.

Circumference = 2 * pi * radius

To find the radius, divide the diameter by 2. 6/2 = 3; your radius is 3.

2 * pi * 3 = 6 pi.

The circumference is 6pi. Leave it like this for an accurate answer in the next step.

If the rope can wrap around the wheel 3 times, then it can do 3 times the circumference.

3 * 6pi = 18pi

18pi ≈ 56.549 meters (round to whatever decimal you deem fit for 18pi).

The length of the rope is 18pi or approximately 56.549 meters long.

Realistically though, the answer would be more than 18pi meters long because the problem does not say it wraps around exactly 3 times. It just says it can completely wrap around the wheel. That's not what you should go with though; that's just me being nit-picky.

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below? Check all that apply. 9x^2-64=0

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

E. -8/3

F. 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-64=0

Add 64 to each side

9x^2-64+64 = 0+64

9x^2 =64

Divide each side by 9

9x^2/9 = 64/9

x^2 = 64/9

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(64/9)

We know that sqrt(a/b) = sqrt(a)/sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(64)/sqrt(9)

x = ± 8/3

A credit card company applies a 6% fee on all transactions under $10. You purchased coffee for $4.80. What fee amount will be ap

Romashka [77]

Answer:

$5.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

We are told that a credit card company applies a 6% fee on all transactions under $10

since the cost of coffee bellow $10 that is $4.80, the 6% fee is applicable

=6% of 4.80

=6/100*4.80

=0.06*4.8

=$0.288

Step two:

the total fee will be

=0.288+4.80

= $5.08

7.5% of what number is equal to 85% of 200?

Ksivusya [100]

Solving:

$\frac{7.5}{100} *x = \frac{85}{100} * 200$

$\frac{7.5x}{\diagup\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!100} = \frac{17000}{\diagup\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!100}$
$7.5x = 17000$
$x = \frac{17000}{7.5}$
$x = 2266.6666... \:\to \boxed{\boxed{x \approx 2266.67}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
