Answer:

32 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the patrolman's rate in miles per hour during the shift. Since we want to find miles per hour, we must divide the miles he drove by the number of hours.

rate = miles / hours

He drove 272 miles.

rate = 272 miles / hours

He drove for 8 hours and 30 minutes. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. One half of 60 is 30. Therefore, we can also say he drove eight and a half, or 8.5 hours.

rate= 272 miles / 8.5 hours

rate = 32 miles / hour

rate= 32 mph

His average rate during the shift was 32 miles per hour.

How do you find the volume of a cylinder when you know the radius and height

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is one of those formulas of algebra and geometry that you need to learn. If you know the radius and the height of a vertical cylinder, then its volume is equal to the (base area) times the (height), which, symbolically, are

V = (base area)(height)

Here,

V = πr²· h where πr² is the area of the base (which is a circle of radius r) and h is the height of the cylinder.

Joe Summers buys a gas grill and accessories. The cost, including tax, amounts to $850.00. Joe finances the grill over 12 months

Anettt [7]

Answer:

$66.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost, including tax, amounts to $850.00.

Down payment =$150

Amount after paying down payment = $850-$150=$700

Interest rate = 14 %

So, interest on $700 = $\frac{14}{100} \times 700 =98$

So, c = $98

Total payment = amount financed + c = 700+98=$798

Now Joe finances the grill over 12 months

So, no. of payments = 12

Now Monthly payment = Total of payments ÷ number of payments

=798 ÷ 12

=$66.5

Hence Joe's monthly payments (principal plus interest) is $ 66.5
