Jen bought: 4x
Carol bought 5y

4x=5y

Y=x-$1.75


1.75 x 5=8.75

5y=5x-$8.75

4x = 5x - $8.75
X=$8.75

One of Jens items = $8.75

1. In some music, a whole note equals one measure, a quarter note
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

3 eighths are needes to make up the rest of the measure.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 + 1/4 + 1/ 8 + x = 1

2/4 + 1/8+x=1

4/8 + 1/8+x=1

5/8 + x=1

x=1 - 5/8

x=3/8

We need three eights.(Because 3/8=1/8+1/8+1/8 and 1/8 represents an eights)

A right cylinder has a height of 20 1/2ft and a diameter of 1 1/5 times it's height what is the volume of the cylinder? Use 3.14
anygoal [31]
Volume (V) of a cylinder is the area of circular base (pi×r^2) times it's length/height (h):
V =  \pi {r}^{2} (h) \:  \: \pi = 3.14
h = 20.5 ft
diameter (d) = 1 1/5 × h, 1 1/5 = 6/5 = 1.20
d = 1.20 × 20.5 = 24.6 ft
radius (r) = 1/2 d = 24.6/2 = 12.3 ft
V =  \pi {r}^{2} (h)  \\ V = 3.14 ({12.3}^{2}) (20.5)  \\ V = 3.14 (151.29) (20.5) \\ V = 475.05 (20.5) = 9738.54  \: {ft}^{3}
