Answer:

$\frac{31}{76}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a cyclist wanted to ride $9\frac{1}{2}$ miles but only managed to travel $3\frac{7}{8}$ and we want to know what fraction he actually travelled so we have to divide the two fractions so

$3\frac{7}{8}$ ÷ $9\frac{1}{2}$

→ First convert to improper fractions

$\frac{31}{8}$ ÷ $\frac{19}{2}$

→ Because it's dividing fractions we have to remember the rule of flipping the second fraction so then it becomes a multiplication

$\frac{31}{8}$ × $\frac{2}{19}$

→ Simplify

$\frac{31}{76}$

So the cyclist had travelled only $\frac{31}{76}$ of his planned trip

The surface area of the solid is about ____ inches squared

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Surface area of the whole figure $= 320.28inch^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the figure :

Surface area of the cylinder(excluding top)+Surface area of the cone(excluding bottom)

Radius of the cylinder=3 inch and Height of cylinder=13 inch

Surface area of the cylinder with one circular face

$=2\pi rh+\pi r^2$

As, $\pi =\frac{22}{7}= 3.14$

$=(2*3.14*3*13)+(3.14*3*3)\\\\=244.92+28.26\\\\=273.18inch^2$

Surface area of the cone excluding base:

$=\pi *r*l$

l= slant height=5 inch r= radius= 3 inch

Surface area of the cone = $3.14*3*5$

$=47.1inch^2$

Total surface area of the whole figure $=273.18+47.1$

$= 320.28inch^2$

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

44.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the mean of 14, 16, 16, 13, 23, x is 21, then we have 14 + 16 + 16 + 13 + 23 + x is equal to 126. Summing we have 14 + 16 + 16 + 13 + 23 = 82. 82 + x is equal to 126. X = 44.
