Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 4 1/2 and turn it into just halves by multiplying 4•2 and then adding it to one. 9/2 then multiply that by 2 because you need the denominator to be 4 getting 18/4. Then subtract 11/4 you end up getting 9/4. So technically you have 2 pieces but if you want them both to be 11/4 you only have one

If total advertising expenditures on television advertising declined 4.1% to $141.7 billion in the current year, how much was sp
Vanyuwa [196]

Using proportions, it is found that $147.8 billion was spent on television advertising in the previous year.

  • $x, in billions, was spent on advertising expenditures on television last year.
  • This year, the amount declined 4.1%, hence it is 100% - 4.1% = 95.9% of last year's amount, that is, 0.959x.

This year spending's is of 141.7 billion, hence, the equation is:

0.959x = 141.7

x = \frac{141.7}{0.959}

x = 147.8

$147.8 billion was spent on television advertising in the previous year.

If the radius of a right circular cylinder is doubled and height becomes 1/4 of the original height, then find the ratio of the
Oduvanchick [21]

<u>Given</u><u> </u><u>info:</u><u>-</u>If the radius of a right circular cylinder is doubled and height becomes 1/4 of the original height.

Find the ratio of the Curved Surface Areas of the new cylinder to that of the original cylinder ?

<u>Explanation</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

Let the radius of the right circular cylinder be r units

Let the radius of the right circular cylinder be h units

Curved Surface Area of the original right circular cylinder = 2πrh sq.units ----(i)

If the radius of the right circular cylinder is doubled then the radius of the new cylinder = 2r units

The height of the new right circular cylinder

= (1/4)×h units

⇛ h/4 units

Curved Surface Area of the new cylinder

= 2π(2r)(h/4) sq.units

⇛ 4πrh/4 sq.units

⇛ πrh sq.units --------(ii)

The ratio of the Curved Surface Areas of the new cylinder to that of the original cylinder

⇛ πrh : 2πrh

⇛ πrh / 2πrh

⇛ 1/2

⇛ 1:2

Therefore the ratio = 1:2

The ratio of the Curved Surface Areas of the new cylinder to that of the original cylinder is 1:2
