Answer:

The corn plant grew by 11.17 inches during week 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

7 and 1/3 inches tall at the end of Week 1.

The height at the end of week 1, as a simple fraction, is:

7 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3*7 + 1}{3} = \frac{22}{3}

The corn plant was 18 1/2 inches tall at the end of Week 2.

At the end of week 2, the height will be of:

18 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{18*2+1}{2} = \frac{37}{2}

How many inches did the corn plant grow during Week 2?

Height at the end of week 2 subtracted by the height at the end of week 1. So

\frac{37}{2} - \frac{22}{3} = \frac{3*37-2*22}{6} = \frac{67}{6} = 11.17

The corn plant grew by 11.17 inches during week 2.

Answer: radius r = 2 inches

height h = 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Volume V = 24πin3

Volume of a cylinder is given by

V = πr^2h

h = V/πr^2. ....1

Where, h = height and r = radius of cylinder

For the surface area of the cylinder with open top. we have,

S = 2πrh + πr^2

For the cost of materials used, let k represent the cost of materials used for the body of the cylinder.

Then, for the bottom will be 3k

Total cost will be represented by C, which gives

C = 2πrhk + 3πr^2k. .....2

Substituting eqn 1 to 2, we have;

C = 2πrVk/πr^2 + 3πr^2k

C = 2Vk/r + 3πr^2k

The material cost is minimum at dC/dr = 0

dC/dr = -2Vk/r^2 + 6πrk =0

6πrk = 2Vk/r^2

r^3 = 2V/6π

r = (2×24π/6π)^-3

r = (8)^-3

r = 2

Substituting r = 2 into eqn1

h = 24π/π(2^2)

h = 24/4 = 6

h = 6

I cannot find the answer on my own, I need a lil' bit of help.

for any fraction a/b, the decimal format of it is just a ÷ b.

A)

is the number rational?

well, a rational number is one we can write as a ration or fraction, well clearly is a fraction so it is rational.


B)

can it be written as a repeating/recurring decimal?  well, 9/20 is 0.45, so -9/20 is -0.45, no repeating decimal like 0.454545......... , just a plain vanilla -0.45, so nope.


C)

is it less than -0.4?

well, let's recall that for the negative side on the number line, the closer to 0, the larger the number, so then -1,000,000 is much smaller than -1, because -1 is closer to 0.

who is closer -0.4 or -0.45?

|---------------------  -0.45  --------  -0.40  -------------------  0  ---------------  1  -------------------|

so, -0.45 is farther from 0, and therefore is smaller than -0.4, so yes.

Steps in multiplying fractions. Remember: finding common denominator is not necessary in multiplying fractions. 
Common denominators are only needed in adding and subtracting fractions.

14/15 * 5/2 

Step 1. Multiply the numerators.
14 * 5 = 70
Step 2. Multiply the denominators
15 * 2 = 30
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
70/30 = 2 10/30 = 2 1/3      

*the fraction 10/30 can still be simplified by dividing both numbers by 10. Hence, 1/3.

Steps in Dividing fractions.

24/60 ÷ 8/15

Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Reciprocal means the reverse of the fraction. Simply swap the places of the numbers.

Reciprocal of 8/15 is 15/8.

Step 2. Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Follow steps in multiplying fractions.

24/60 * 15/8 = (24*15) / (60*8) = 360/480

Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
360/480 = 9 / 12 = 3/4

360 ÷ 40 =   9 ;   9 ÷ 3 = 3
480 ÷ 40 = 12 ; 12 ÷ 3 = 4
