Answer:

Multiply the number of cans by the volume of each: 12,000 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

You find the total volume of more than one can by adding the volumes of the cans involved.

For 2 cans, the volume would be ...

12 oz + 12 oz = 24 oz

When you consider adding numbers more than a couple of times, you start looking for ways to simplify the effort. Multiplication was invented for that purpose. Here, multiplying the volume of 1 can by 1000 is the same as adding the volumes of 1000 cans.

For 1000 cans with volume of 12 oz each, the volume of the total is ...

1000 × 12 oz = 12,000 oz.

We want to write

$\frac{\sqrt[]{5}+1}{2}$

as decimal, doing it on a calculator we have

$\frac{\sqrt[]{5}+1}{2}=1.61803398875$

But we only need three decimal places, then the result is

$\frac{\sqrt[]{5}+1}{2}=1.618$

Given a soda can with a volume of 15 and a diameter of 2, what is the volume of a cone that fits perfectly inside the soda can?

Naddika [18.5K]

Check the picture below.

so, a cone, that fits inside the cylinder, will have the same height "h" and radius "r". Thus

$\bf \textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\
V=\pi r^2 h\qquad \boxed{\pi r^2 h}=15
\\\\\\
\textit{volume of a cone}\\\\
V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}\implies V=\cfrac{\boxed{15}}{3}$

Find the coordinates of the midpoint. Please help, thank you!

beks73 [17]

I think it is (0,b). Though I might be mistaken. After you plug in the numbers, it should be -3a+3a/2 and b+b/2. Once simplified that is 0/2 and 2b/2. 0/2 is just 0 and 2/2 is 1 leaving b. So the answer is (0,b).

caroline won $250,000 in a lottry. after paying $96,000 in taxes, she placed the remaining amount in a savings account at 2% int

BigorU [14]

Answer:

18,480

Step-by-step explanation:

you would fine how much she put in the bank in the first place!

250,000-96,000=154,000

Then you would do 154,000*0.02 to find how much interest is charged per month.

154,000*0.02=3080

Finally, you would multiply 3080 by 6 {because you need to account for all of the months}.

3080*6=18,480
