Answer:

a=9

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this proportion, we have to get the variable, a, by itself.

First, cross multiply.

6/a=18/27

Multiply the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second, and the numerator of the second by the denominator of the first.

a*18=6*27

18a=162

Now, 18 and a are being multiplied. In order to get a by itself, perform the opposite of what is being done. They are being multiplied, so the opposite would be division. Divide both sides by 18.

18a/18=162/18

a=162/18

a=9

So, the proportion, with 9 substituted in for a, will be:

6/9=18/27

Answer:

  115.5 cubic yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is given by the formula ...\

  V = 1/3πr²h

Here the diameter is 7 yards, so the radius is 3.5 yards. The volume is then ...

  V = (1/3)π(3.5 yd)²(9 yd) = 36.75π yd³ ≈ 115.454 yd³
