A group of seven adults went to the movies. The total cost of the movie tickets was $30. This doesn't seem possible, does it? Af

ter all, 30 is not evenly divisible by 7. Ah, but there's a hitch. The reason that $30 was the total cost was that some members of the group were senior citizens, so they got to see the movie at half price. How many of the group were senior citizens, and how much did the tickets cost?

Answer:

no. of senior citizens=x

no.of other people=7-x

cost=30=k(7-x)+(k/2)x. k is the cost of a ticket

k(7-x+x/2)

k(7-x/2)-30=0

k=60/(14-x)

now do trial and error substitution for (x<7) until u get a whole number for k also (k<30). if you have the skills you can suggest the number yourself

ie x= 2, k=5$

Compare the decimals 18,011.1 and 18,111.01.
finlep [7]
18,011.1 = 18,011+\frac{1}{10}=18,011+\frac{10}{100} \\ 18,111.01 = 18,111+\frac{1}{100} = 18,011+100+\frac{1}{100}

18,111.01 \ \textgreater \ 18,011.1 because 100+\frac{1}{100}\ \textgreater \ \frac{10}{100} \iff 100 \ \textgreater \  1 \ \textgreater \  \frac{9}{100}.

You are an engineer for a company that produces shipping boxes. The boxes that are made on one machine are all in the shape of a
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a picture of a cube and label the cube's side length, s. Prior to placing your order for more cardboard, tape, packing material, etc. your boss asked you to determine each of the following: a. Write an expression to determine the surface area of a cube-shaped box, SA, in terms of its side length, s (in inches).

The surface area of a cube of side length s is A = 6s^2; there are 6 sides each of area s^2.

If s is measured in inches, then A = 6x^2 inches^2.

b. Define a formula to determine the volume of a cube-shaped box, V, in terms of its side length, s, (in inches). Preview What are the units for the cube's volume?

The formula for the volume of a cube is V = s^3.  In this case, V is measured in inches^3.

c.  Given the formula for determining the volume of a 4 sphere is V = ar atrs, 3 (This is incorrect; the formula in question, for the volume of a sphere of radius r is V = (4/3)(pi)r^3.           (1) We can solve this formula for r^3, and then for r:

                                                  3V

3V = 4(pi)r^3 becomes r^3 = ------------

                                                 4(pi)

and so the formula for the radius of a sphere whose volume is 87 inches^3

is

     ∛(3V)        ∛3*87 in^3

r = ------------ = ------------------

      ∛(4pi)        ∛(4pi)

(2) The volume of the sphere when r = 5.9 in is:

                                                     4(3.14)      205.38 in³

(4/3)(pi)r^3 = (4/3)(pi)(5.9 in)³  =   --------- = --------------------- = 67.46 in³

                                                         3                 3

         

(3) V = (4/3)(pi)r³    

     Please share the possible answer choices.  Basically, you must find the volume twice:  once for a radius of 4 in and once for a radius of 2 in.  Then subtract the smaller from the larger.  The numerical result is the desired answer.
