If a menorah is 20 cubits high, and 1 cubit=18 inches, then simply multiply 20 by 18. 18*20=360 inches. Since there are 12 inches in 1 foot, 360/12=30. So, according to the code of Jewish law, a menorah can be 30 feet high.

Answer:

30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Interesting question.

  • 1 cubit = 18 inches
  • 20 cubits = x
  • 1/20 = 18/x       Cross multiply
  • x = 20 * 18
  • x = 360 inches.

The maximum height is 360 inches.

  • 1 foot = 12 inches
  • x feet = 360 inches   Cross multiply
  • 12x = 360 * 1
  • 12x/12 = 360/12
  • x = 30

The maximum height reached was 30 feet.

Please help........................

The volume of a sphere is 4/3 * pi * r³ so substitute the values in

4/3 * pi * 2³

4/3 * pi * 8

32/3 * pi

The volume is either 32/3pi units³ or 33.49 units³ (they're the same value)

I hope this helps!

I need help with math homework #2 algebra
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

A. (0, -2) and (4, 1)

B. Slope (m) = ¾

C. y - 1 = ¾(x - 4)

D. y = ¾x - 2

E. -¾x + y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Two points on the line from the graph are: (0, -2) and (4, 1)

B. The slope can be calculated using two points, (0, -2) and (4, 1):

slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{1 -(-2)}{4 - 0} = \frac{3}{4}

Slope (m) = ¾

C. Equation in point-slope form is represented as y - b = m(x - a). Where,

(a, b) = any point on the graph.

m = slope.

Substitute (a, b) = (4, 1), and m = ¾ into the point-slope equation, y - b = m(x - a).

Thus:

y - 1 = ¾(x - 4)

D. Equation in slope-intercept form, can be written as y = mx + b.

Thus, using the equation in (C), rewrite to get the equation in slope-intercept form.

y - 1 = ¾(x - 4)

4(y - 1) = 3(x - 4)

4y - 4 = 3x - 12

4y = 3x - 12 + 4

4y = 3x - 8

y = ¾x - 8/4

y = ¾x - 2

E. Convert the equation in (D) to standard form:

y = ¾x - 2

-¾x + y = -2

Sammy buys 5 pounds of oranges for 7.50 at this rate how much would 8 pounds of oranges cost
Nadusha1986 [10]

The cost of 8 pounds of oranges based on the total cost of 5 pounds bought is 12.00

What is the cost for a pound of oranges?

The cost of a pound of oranges based on the rate at which 5 pounds were bought and 8 pounds would also be bought is determined as the amount paid for 5 pounds of oranges divided by the number of pounds of oranges bought

cost per pound of oranges=cost of 5 pounds/5 pounds

cost per pound of oranges=7.50/5

cost per pound of oranges=1.50

Based on the 1.50 per pound, the cost of 8 pounds is the cost per pound multiplied by 8 pounds

cost of 8 pounds of oranges=1.50*8pounds

cost of 8 pounds of oranges=12.00
