Answer: The volume of the basketball is 449.09 in³.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the diameter of a basketball is 9.50 inches.

We are to find the volume of the basketball.

A basketball is of the shape of a sphere. And the volume of a SPHERE with radius 'r' units is given by

$V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3.$

Here, the diameter of the basketball is 9.50 inches, so the radius of the ball is

$r=\dfrac{9.50}{2}=4.75~\textup{inches}.$

Therefore, the volume of the basketball will be

$V\\\\\\=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\\\=\dfrac{4}{3}\times\dfrac{22}{7}\times (4.75)^3\\\\\\=\dfrac{88}{21}\times 107.17\\\\\\=\dfrac{9430.96}{21}\\\\=449.09~\textup{in}^3.$

Thus, the volume of the basketball is 449.09 in³.

Degger [83]

Answer:

Hannah is deciding between two truck rental companies. Company A charges an initial fee of $30 for the rental plus $2 per mile driven. Company B charges an initial fee of $100 for the rental plus $1 per mile driven. Let AA represent the amount Company A would charge if Hannah drives xx miles, and let BB represent the amount Company B would charge if Hannah drives xx miles. Write an equation for each situation, in terms of x,x, and determine the interval of miles driven, x,x, for which Company A is cheaper than Company B.

In a recent student government election, the ratio of students who voted for the winner to all the students who voted was 0.55

Temka [501]

The ratio being 0.55 means 55% of students voted for the person who ended up winning. If there were 40 people who voted, just find 55% of 40.
This is done by 0.55 • 40, which equals 22.
So 22 students voted for the person who ended up winning.
