Mr. Hammond is the volunteer coordinator for a company that puts on running races. Last year, the company organized 7 short race

s and 8 long races, which required a total of 804 volunteers. This year, the company organized 11 short races and 5 long races, which required 688 volunteers in total. How many volunteers does each type of race require?

Answer:

28 short race volunteers

76 long race volunteers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Short races = a

Long races = b

LAST YEAR:

7a + 8b = 804 - - - - (1)

THIS YEAR:

11a + 5b = 688 - - - (2)

Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 8

35a + 40b = 4020

88a + 40b = 5504

Subtract

-53a = - 1484

a = 1484 / 53

a = 28

Put a = 28 in equation (1)

7(28) + 8b = 804

196 + 8b = 804

8b = 804 - 196

8b = 608

b = 76

28 short race volunteers

76 long race volunteers

Answer:

The absolute change in the height of the water is 9.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$l =24in$ --- length

$w = 15in$ --- width

$h =12in$ --- height

$V_1 = 900in^3$ --- the volume removed

Required

The absolute change in the height of the water

First, calculate the base area (b):

$b = l * w$

$b =24in * 15in$

$b =360in^2$

The height of the water that was removed is:

<em /> $H = \frac{V_1}{b}$ <em> i.e. the volume of the water removed divided by the base area</em>

$H = \frac{900in^3}{360in^2}$

$H = \frac{900in}{360}$

$H = 2.5in$

The absolute change in height is:

$\triangle H = |h - H|$

$\triangle H = |12in - 2.5in|$

$\triangle H = |9.5in|$

$\triangle H = 9.5in$

Answer:

$T = 1300$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Radius, r = 9\ in$

$Height, h = 14\ in$

<em>See attachment</em>

<em></em>

Required

Determine the total surface area, T

T is calculated using:

$T = 2\pi r(r + h)$

Substitute values for r and h

$T = 2\pi * 9(9 + 14)$

$T = 2\pi * 9(23)$

Remove bracket

$T = 2\pi * 9*23$

$T = 2\pi * 207$

Take $\pi = 3.14$

So, we have:

$T = 2 * 3.14 * 207$

$T = 1299.96$

$T = 1300$ --- approximated.

<em>Hence, the surface area is 1300 square inch</em>
