ronaldo delivers the papers at the rate of 6 papers in 24 minutes. how much longer would it take him to deliver 56 papers than 4

UkoKoshka [18]

We are given

Ronaldo delivers the papers at the rate of 6 papers in 24 minutes

so, number of papers =6 in time =24 minutes

so, firstly we can find rate

rate = ( number of papers)/( time taken)

$r=\frac{6}{24} =\frac{1}{4}$

now, we can find times

Time for 56 papers:

we are given

number of papers =56

rate is

$r=\frac{1}{4}$

now, we can find time

$t_1=\frac{56}{r}$

$t_1=\frac{56}{\frac{1}{4}}$

$t_1=224min$

Time for 41 papers:

we are given

number of papers =41

rate is

$r=\frac{1}{4}$

now, we can find time

$t_2=\frac{41}{r}$

$t_2=\frac{41}{\frac{1}{4}}$

$t_2=164min$

now, we can find time difference

$t=t_1-t_2$

so, we can plug values

$t=224-164$

$t=60 min$ ..............Answer

A homeowner wants to build a circular patio. if the diameter of the patio is 20 feet, what is its area to the nearest whole numb

andreyandreev [35.5K]

We are asked to find the area of patio. It is circular so formula used for area is given by:
$A= r^{2} \pi$
Where
r = radius = diameter / 2 = 20 / 2 = 10 feet

$A = 10^{2} \pi =100 \pi$
When we round this to the nearest whole number:
$A =100 \pi = 314.159=314ft^{2}$
