In a naval engagement, one-third of the fleet was captured, one-sixth was sunk, and two ships were destroyed by fire. One-sevent

Otrada [13]

Answer:

60 ships.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of ships in the naval fleet be represented by x

One-third of the fleet was captured = 1/3x

One-sixth was sunk = 1/6x

Two ships were destroyed by fire = 2

Let surviving ships be represented by y

One-seventh of the surviving ships were lost in a storm after the battle = 1/7y

Finally, the twenty-four remaining ships sailed home

The 24 remaining ships that sailed home =

y - 1/7y = 6/7y of the surviving fleet sailed home.

Hence

24 = 6/7y

24 = 6y/7

24 × 7/ 6

y = 168/6

y = 28

Therefore, total number of ships that survived is 28.

Surviving ships lost in the storm = 1/7y = 1/7 × 28 = 4

Total number of ships in the fleet(x) =

x = 1/3x + 1/6x + 2 + 28

Collect like terms

x - (1/3x + 1/6x) = 30

x - (1/2x) = 30

1/2x = 30

x = 30 ÷ 1/2

x = 30 × 2

x = 60

Therefore, ships that were in the fleet before the engagement were 60 ships.

A+5=5a+5 Subtract a from each side
5=5a+5 Subtract 5 from each side
0=5a Divide each side by the number before the variable to get it alone.

A cylindrical can of baked beans has a diameter of 8 cm and a height of 9 cm.

strojnjashka [21]

Formula for volue of cylinder is area time height. Lets find area
A= $\pi r^2$
diameter=2r
8=2r
r=4
Now substitute r to $A= \pi r^2$
A= $\pi 4^2= 16\pi$
Now we have formula
V= $16 \pi *height=16 \pi *9=144 \pi$ - its the result, so B
