Answer:

1,460 hours per year.

113,880 hours in a lifetime.

Step-by-step explanation:

Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.

Let's assume that on an average day Americans drive 4 hours a day. This includes going and coming from work as well as any groceries they might need to do. Since there are 365 days in a year we can multiply this by the hours a day driven.

365*4 = 1,460

We can "guesstimate" that on average an American drives 1,460 hours per year.

Based on my research the average lifetime of an American is 78 years old. We can now multiply this by the number of hours driven in a year to have an idea of the number of hours driven in a lifetime.

1,460*78 = 113,880

On average we "guesstimate" that an American drives 113,880 hours in a lifetime.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The result is the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.  

Please have a look at the attached photo.  

My answer:

Given the information:

  • square 12 inches wide
  • 3-inch diameter cookies are cut => its radius is: 1.5 inches

Hence we can find some information:

  • The area of the square is: 12^{2}  = 144 square inches
  • The area of a cookies is: r^{2}π = 3.14*1.5^{2} = 7.065 square inches
  • The total number of 3-inch cookies are: 4*4 =16

=> The total area of the cookies is: 16* 7.065 = 113.04 square inches

=> how much cookie dough is "wasted" when 3-inch cookies are cut:

= The area of the square - The total area of the cookies

= 144 - 113.04 = 30.96  square inches

If the diameter is increased to 4 inches => its radius: 2 inches, we have:

  • The area of a cookies is: r^{2}π = 2^{2} *3.14 = 12.56 square inches
  • The total number of 3-inch cookies are: 3*3 =9

=> The total area of the cookies is: 9* 12.56 = 113.04 square inches

=> how much cookie dough is "wasted" when 4-inch cookies are cut:

= The area of the square - The total area of the cookies

= 144 - 113.04 = 30.96  square inches

The result is the same.
