6 pencils cost 54p how much will 8 pencils cost? can you please show me the working out..

First you have to put them both into fractions. 6/54 and 8/X X being the value your trying to find. So your going to cross multiply and divide. 8 • 54 and then divided by 6. 8 • 54= 432. Then 432 divided by 6 equals 72.

Well first you have to find the unit rate, or how many "p" each pencil costs. So you take 54 and divide it by 6, and you get 9. So each pencil costs 9 p, so you take 9 and multiply it by 8. That gets you 72, so 8 pencils cost 72p.

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth (if necessary).

The formula is called the “midpoint formula”. It looks like this
m=(x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2 where m means midpoint. In your case it looks like this.

Find the volume of the right cone below in terms of π. hight 9 diamiter 6

Eduardwww [97]

About 84.82

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the volume of a cone is pi*r^2*(h/3). The formula to find radius is diameter/2. 6/2=3. Since r=3 and h=9, pi*3^2*(9/3)=84.82

2x+2y=8 in function form step by step please?

nasty-shy [4]

You could get two different functions out of this:

2x + 2y = 8

1). 'y' as a function of 'x'

Subtract 2x from each side: 2y = -2x + 8

Divide each side by 2 :  y = -x + 4

2).  'x' as a function of 'y' :

Subtract 2y from each side: 2x = -2y + 8

Divide each side by 2 :  x = -y + 4

Those two functions look the same, but that's just because the original
equation given in the problem was so symmetrical. In general, they're
not the same function.
