To solve this, write a proportion of Pounds to Cost:
Pounds:     3         x
     Cost: 25.50   42.50

Cross multiply 3 and 42.50, this gives you 127.5
Then, divide by 25.5
This gives you 5.
You can buy 5 pounds with $42.50

Hnmm what's simple, follow this structure- always find the rate(by dividing) first find the rate of 3 pounds and 25.50
3pounds=. 1pound=?
25.50. Try for 1LBS So in order to get this divide 3 by the number that gets it 1 (for one pound)

Which is 3 so 3pounds divided by 3 = the one pound you want. So now divide the 25.50 by 3 to get 8.50. Now this is the problem
1pound=so ____pounds=
8.50. 42.50
All you have to do is divide 42.50 by 8.50 to get 5 FIVE POUNDS EQUAL 42.50 your welcome, I think :)

A storage container consists of a box of length 90cm, width 42 cm and height 34 cm, and a lid
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

20079.05 cm^2,

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the box without the lid

=  90*42 + 2(90*34) + 2(42*34) = 12756.

Now find Surface area of the half cylinder:

The diameter of the 2 half circles = 42 so the radius = 21.

The area of the lid  

= 2 + 1/2 π (21)^2 + π r * 90

= 7323,052

Total = 20079.052

-13x - 13x = -15    

- there is no solution to theses

a23  means the element in the second  row and the 3rd column

Consider the series 4 + 12 + 36 ... Find the sum of the first 9 terms.​
jeyben [28]

Answer:

39364

Step-by-step explanation:

You can simplify the equation to make 4(1+3+9...) The nth term is therefore 3^{n-1} so u can substitute that into the equation so 4(3^{n-1}+ 3^{n}  + 3^{n+1}..). This would simplify to 4(3^0 +3+3^2+3^3+3^4+3^5+3^6+3^7+3^8). By simplifying this, you can make it so 4(2^2+6^2+18^2+42^2+81^2) = 4(4+36+324+2916+6561) =39364
