Answer:

Stacey wanted to build a model airplane to display in her room. The scale ratio she planned to use was for every 4 feet the airplane was, the model airplane would be 1 inch. If the plane was 250 feet long, how long would the model airplane be?

Here, I used the ratio 4 : 1 as a scale in the problem.

The total amount is 156.86. By multiplying .15 to the 136.40, the tip would be 20.46. So 136.40 plus the 20.46 dollar tip would equal 156.86

1. Ki’von has a sink that is shaped like a half-sphere. The sink has a diameter of 20 inches. One day, his sink clogged. He has

Vanyuwa [196]

Step 1
Find the volume of a sink
Volume sink=(4/6)*pi*r³ (half-sphere)
Diameter=20 in--------------> r=D/2-----------> r=10 in
Volume sink=(4/6)*pi*10³---------> (2000/3)*pi in³ --------> 2093.33 in³

(a) What is the exact volume of the sink?
the answer part a) is (2000/3)*pi in³ (2093.33 in³)

(b) One conical cup has a diameter of 8 in. and a height of 6 in. How many cups of water must Ki’von scoop out of the sink with this cup to empty it?

volume of a conical cup=pi*r²*h/3
diameter=8 in--------------> r=4 in
h=6 in
volume of a conical cup=pi*4²*6/3-----------> 32*pi in³

if one cup---------------------> 32*pi in³
X---------------------------> (2000/3)*pi in³
X=(2000/3)*pi/(32*pi)------------> 20.83----------> 21 cups

the answer part b) is 21 cups

(c) One cylindrical cup has a diameter of 4 in. and a height of 6 in. How many cups of water must he scoop out of the sink with this cup to empty it?

volume of a cylindrical cup=pi*r²*h
diameter=4 in--------------> r=2 in
h=6 in
volume of a cylindrical cup=pi*2²*6-----------> 24*pi in³

if one cup---------------------> 24*pi in³
X---------------------------> (2000/3)*pi in³
X=(2000/3)*pi/(24*pi)------------> 27.77----------> 28 cups

the answer part c) is 28 cups

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

$0.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The jars of peanut butter that I buy cost $7.20 each and normally contain 500 grams.

At present, however, each jar contains an extra 20% free.

And additionally, the supermarket has a "buy 3 jars get another one free''.

Question asked:

By how much is the cost per 100 grams of peanut butter less than it normally is if I take full advantage of the supermarket's offer today?

Solution:

Cost of a jars of peanut = $7.20

Normally, weight of peanut butter in one packet = 500 gram

At supermarket offer, each jar contains an extra 20% free, means a packet of peanut butter contains = 500 + 20% of 500 $=500+500\times \frac{20}{100} =500+100=600\ gram$

And extra benefit = buy 3 jars get another one free, means we will get 4 jars by just giving price of only 3 jars.

That means, total weight of peanut butter you are getting by giving 3 packet's price = Each jar weigh $\times$ number of jars

= 600 $\times$ 4 = 2400 gram

Cost of each packet will be same as previously as during the offer; $7.20

Cost of 3 packet's peanut (2400 gram) = $7.20\times3=\$21.6$

Now, we will calculate cost per 100 grams of peanut butter :

During offer:

Cost of 2400 grams of peanut butter = $21.6

Cost of 1 gram of peanut butter = $\frac{21.6}{2400}$

Cost of 100 gram of peanut butter = $\frac{21.6}{2400}\times100=\frac{2160}{2400} =\$0.9$

Normal day:

Cost of 500 grams of peanut butter = $7.20

Cost of 1 gram of peanut butter = $\frac{7.20}{500}$

Cost of 100 gram of peanut butter = $\frac{7.20}{500}\times100=\frac{720}{500} =\$1.44$

We found that cost of 100 gram of peanut butter in normal day is $1.44 while cost of 100 gram of peanut butter during offer is $0.9 means cost per 100 gram during offer is ($1.44 - $0.9 = )$0.54 less than cost during normal day.

Conclusion:

Therefore, cost per 100 grams of peanut butter is $0.54 less than it is normally if you take full advantage of the supermarket's offer today.
