Yes.  Changing the the word problem into a function, you get 30x=y.

30 = Fixed Length

x = width

y = area

No matter what width (x) you choose, the area (y) is going to be a multiple of 30 (the fixed length) because with two numbers being multiplied, if there is a fixed number that will always be the multiple and not the multiplier.  For example, 10 multiplied by every number 1-10 is going to be a multiple of 10.

10x1=10, 10x2=20, 10x3=30, etc

So if Tom chooses any of these widths (x) 5, 10, or 15, y (the area) will be a multiple of 30.

30(5)=150

30(10)=300

30(15)=450

So as we double 5 to get 10, our outcome is doubled 150 to 300 and so forth.  Hope this helps.

Find the volume of the cone, read the directions carefully!!​
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

300 units^3 or 96π

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cone would be:

Because the formula of finding the volume of cone is

V = πr^2 * h/3

r is the radius of the base

h is the height of the cone

π is Pi, approximately 3.142 and it is the circumference of any circle divided by its diameter

V is volume

So in this case:

V = πr^2 * h/3

V = π * 6^2 * 8/3

V = π * 36 * 8/3

V = 96π or 301.44 and round it up to 300 units^3

Hope this help :3

3) Scenario 1 Scenario 2 y = 50x x is time in hours y is distance in miles Compare the scenarios and determine which shows the g
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

Scenario 1 represented by the graph.

From the graph it is clear that the line passes through the points (1,60) and (2,120).

Slope of the line is

y=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

y=\dfrac{120-60}{2-1}=60

The slope of line is 60. It means the speed is 60 miles per hour.

Scenario 2 defined by the equation,

y=50x

If an equation defined as y=mx+b, then m is slope and b is y-intercept.

m=50

The slope of line is 50. It means the speed is 50 miles per hour.  

The slope of Scenario 1 is greater than slope of Scenario 2. So, the Scenario 1 shows the greater speed.

Hence, the correct option is A.

To practice for a competition, Sonya swam 0.94 kilometer in the pool each day for 3 weeks. How many meters did Sonya swim in tho
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Distance swam by Sonya in 3 weeks = 19740 m

Step-by-step explanation:

To practice for a competition, Sonya swam 0.94 kilometer in the pool each day for 3 weeks.

Number of days in 1 week = 7

Number of weeks she swam = 3

Total number of days she swam = 3 x 7 = 21 days

Distance swam per day = 0.94 km

Total distance swam = Total number of days she swam x Distance swam per day

Total distance swam = 21 x 0.94 = 19.74 km = 19.74 x 1000 m = 19740 m

Distance swam by Sonya in 3 weeks = 19740 m
