Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so basically let's start with a proportion.

x/32 = 11.25/9

Cross multiply:

x * 9 = 32 * 11.25

9x = 32 * 11.25

9x = 360

Solving for variable 'x'.

Divide each side by '9'.

x = 40

I don't know if this is the correct answer, but it was based on my math. I hope this helps!

A radio station requires DJs to play 4 commercials for every 36 songs they play. What is the unit rate of songs to commercials?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The correct answer for this question is that the unit rate is 5:1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can work this out by simplifying down the 2 commercials to every 10 songs ration, so that 10:2 becomes 5:1. We can work this out by halving the original ratio to simplify it.

What is x, if the volume of the cylinder is 768 pi cm3? Do not use units or commas in your answer.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the volume of a cylinder is given by:

 V = pi * (r ^ 2) * h

In this case we know the diameter, we know that the radius is half the diameter like this:

r = d / 2

r = 8/2

r = 4

Now we know that the V equals 768 pi

we replace and we have:

768 * pi = pi * (4 ^ 2) * h

768 = 16 * h

h = 768/16

h = 48

Therefore the value of x would be 48 cm
