Roger served 5/8 pound of cracker wich was 2/3 of the entire box what was the weight of the crackers originally in the box

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:
original weight of the box = 15 / 16 pounds

Explanation:
Assume that the original amount in the box is x.
We are given that:
5/8 pounds represent 2/3 of the total amount (x).
This can be translated into the following equation:
(2/3) x = 5 / 8

Now, we will solve for x as follows:
(2/3) x = 5 / 8
Multiply both sides by 24 to get rid of the denominators as follows:
(2/3) x * 24 = (5 / 8) * 24
16 x = 15
Divide both sides by 16 to isolate the x as follows:
x = 15 / 16 pounds

Hope this helps :)

An ice cream cone is 5" deep and 2" in top diameter. One scoop of vanilla ice cream, 2" in diameter, is placed on the cone. If t

Ratling [72]

If the total volume of the ice cream exceeds the internal volume of the cone, then it will overflow.

Volume of icecream = 4/3 * pi * r^3 = 4/3*pi*(1)^3 = 4.189 cu. in.Volume of cone = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h = 1/3*pi*(1)^2*5 = 5.236 cu. in.

Since Volume of cone > Volume of icecream, the cone will not overflow.

Miguel invests money in an account paying simple interest. He invests $170 and no money is added or removed from the investment.

$~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P(1+rt)\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\dotfill & \$185.30\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$170\\ r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\ t=years\dotfill &1 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 185.30=170[1+(\frac{r}{100})(1)]\implies \cfrac{185.30}{170}=1+\cfrac{r}{100}\implies \cfrac{109}{100}=\cfrac{100+r}{100} \\\\\\ 109=100+r\implies \stackrel{\%}{9}=r$

Consider a circle whose size can vary. Let r represent the radius of the circle (in cm) and let C represent the circumference of

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

$g (15)$ represents the radius (in cm) of a circle whose circumference is 15 cm

if $g (a) = 15$ , then a represents the circumference (in cm) of a circle whose radius is 15cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In a circle the following relationship can be posed:

$C = 2 \pi r$

Let g be a function that determines the radius of the circle from the value of its circumference, so, you have:

$g (C) =\frac{C}{2\pi}$

Thus, $g (15)$ represents the radius (in cm) of a circle whose circumference is 15 cm. You have to $g (15) =\frac{15}{2\pi}$ .

On the other hand, if $g (a) = 15$ , then $a$ represents the circumference (in cm) of a circle whose radius is 15cm. You have to $a=2 \pi(15) = 30 \pi$
