An hourglass consists of two sets of congruent composite figures on either end. Each composite figure is made up of a cone and a

cylinder, as shown below:

Each cone of the hourglass has a height of 18 millimeters. The total height of the sand within the top portion of the hourglass is 54 millimeters. The radius of both cylinder and cone is 8 millimeters. Sand drips from the top of the hourglass to the bottom at a rate of 10π cubic millimeters per second. How many seconds will it take until all of the sand has dripped to the bottom of the hourglass?

Answer: third option 268.8

Explanation:

For this kind of proble it is very important that you attach the figure because it contains important information to understand the question.

I have attached the figure for better understanding.

1) The top portion (and the bottom is congruent but rotated 180°) of the hourglass is a figure equivalent to a cylinder on top and a cone on bottom.

So the total volume contained in the top portion is the volume of a cylinder + the volume of a cone.

This is how you calculate the volume of the top portion:

1) The height of the cylinder is 54 mm - 18 mm = 36 mm

2) The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = π (radius)^2 * height

radius = 8 mm
height = 36 mm

=> V = π(8mm)^2 * 36 mm = 2304π (mm)^3

3) The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)π(radius)^2 * height

radius = 8 mm
height = 18 mm

V = (1/3)π(8mm)^2 * 18 mm = 384π (mm)^3

4) The total volume of the top portion is volumen of the cylindrical part + voume of the cone:

Total voluem = 2304π (mm)^3 + 384π (mm)^3 = 2688π (mm)^3

5) To find the number of seconds <span>it take until all of the sand has dripped to the bottom of the hourglass you have to divide the total volumen of sand by the rate:

time in seconds = total volume of sand / rate of dripping

time in seconds = [2688 π (mm)^3 ] / [10π (mm)^3 / s] = 268.8 s

That is the answer: 268.8 s

The function P(x) = –0.015x^2 + 1.2x – 11.5 gives the profit, in thousands of dollars, when a company sells a new product at x d
dlinn [17]

Answer:

The profit decreases by $ 375 for every $ 1 increase in the selling price.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the definition of the secant line we get that the average rate of change of P(x) = -0.015\cdot x^{2}+1.2\cdot x -11.5, where x is the selling price of the product, measured in dollars per unit, is:

r = \frac{P(55)-P(50)}{55-50} (1)

Now we evaluate the function at each bound:

x = 50

P(50) = -0.015\cdot (50)^{2}+1.2\cdot (50)-11.5

P(50) = 11

x = 55

P(55) = -0.015\cdot (55)^{2}+1.2\cdot (55)-11.5

P(55) = 9.125

Then, the average rate of change is:

r = \frac{9.125-11}{55-50}

r = -0.375

Hence, the profit decreases by $ 375 for every $ 1 increase in the selling price.

Mrs. Hwang is taking her vehicle to the shop to have the gas tank expanded by 10 gallons. Now, it costs her $42.56 to fill the t
harina [27]

Answer:

Proportion states that the two fractions or ratios are equal

As per the statement: Mrs. Hwang is taking her vehicle to the shop to have the gas tank expanded by 10 gallons. Now, it costs her $42.56 to fill the tank. Once the new tank is in, it will cost her $72.96

Let the tank size now be x

Since, the gas tank expanded by 10 gallons = x + 10

by definition of proportion ;

\frac{x}{42.56}=\frac{x+10}{72.96}

by cross multiply we get;

72.96x = 42.56(x+10)

using distributive property;a\cdot (b+c) =a\cdot b + a\cdot c

72.96x = 42.56x+425.6

Subtract 42.56x from both sides we get;

30.4x =425.6

Divide both sides by 30.4 we get;

x = 14

Therefore, the tank is her now is, 14 gallons
