Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"Inversely proportional to x" in this situation is represented by a = k/x.

Find k:

Let a = 15 and x = 25, then calculate k:

15 = k/25)

Multiplying both sides by 25 yields k = 15(25), or k = 3/5

and so a = -----------

The cylindrical container is four-fifths full of powder. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary. a. The total capacity of the c

mezya [45]

Answer:

a. $\pi r^2h$

b. $\frac{4\pi r^2h}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the container denotes its quantity. It is a three-dimensional space.

Let V denotes the volume of the container, h denotes the height of the container and r denotes the radius of the container.

The total capacity of the container in terms of π is $\pi r^2h$ <u />

As the cylindrical container is four-fifths full of powder, so the volume of the powder in terms of π is $\frac{4}{5}\times$ volume of the container i.e., $\frac{4\pi r^2h}{5}$

The mean age of Mr Jasmi,Miss Haslinda and their three children is 38 years. The mean age of their three children is 18 years. C

DedPeter [7]

Answer: 68

Explanation:

Let x be the age of Mr Jasmi
y be the age of Miss Haslinda
a + b + c be the age of the 3 children

We can write:
(x + y + a + b + c)/5 = 38

But:
(a + b + c)/3 = 18
a + b + c = 18(3)
a + b + c = 54

Substitute this value to our first equation

(x + y + 54)/5 = 38
x + y + 54 = 38(5)
x + y + 54 = 190
x + y = 190 - 54
x + y = 136

Thus:
Mean age of (mr jasmi and miss Linda) = (x+y)/2

But x + y = 136

=> mean age = 136/2 = 68
