Assuming the man works 8 hours straight without breaks:

25% is the same as 1/4 of something.

So, we just have to figure out what 1/4 (one quarter) of 8 equals.

You can think of it as a pizza cut into 8 slices. One slice is equivalent to one hour for the patrolman.

If we take away 1/2 (half) of the pizza, we have 4 slices, right? Since we start with 8 slices, half of that equals 4 slices. In other words, 50% (half) of the pizza = 4 slices.

Now, 25% (one quarter) of the pizza will equal half of what is left:

If we know that 50%=4 slices (or 4 hours), then 25% must be 2 slices (or 2 hours).

That's it! 25% of 8 hours = 2 hours.

***So, the patrolman spends 2 hours each day completing paperwork.***

Lets check our work:
We know 8 hours (or 8 slices)= 100%
(We know this because
8 slices = 1 whole pizza, or 100% of a pizza. Similarly,
8 hours = 1 whole shift or 100% of the man's shift ).

So

25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100%

If 100% of the mans shift = 8 hours:

2+2+2+2 = 8

It checks out!


Hope this helps!

The sum of three numbers is 20. The sum of twice the first number, 5 times the second
Fed [463]

Answer:

well this is required for ur knowledge and ur experience but i could give u an example if u want

last week i had lied to my step mother about something that was small, she found out emediatly that i was lying and got mad. she asked me why do i lie to her so much and i couldnt answer cuz i didnt know. i lied to her many times  before and did some other stuff to her such as stealing and lying about important stuff. yesterday when she finally wasnt mad at me we talked long and hard and she told me that each time i lied or stole from her it broke alittle bit of her trust in me, she asked me if it was cuz i just didnt like her and i told her no and that i saw her as a family memember  but she told me she didnt believe me and that she cant believe a thing i say due to how much i lied to her. there was a lot of tears after that long talk and after i calmed down i did some stuff and then started thinking of reasons why i did the things i did. then i started thinking of how i could of fixed it. a way i could of fixed the issue before it was even an issue was i could of not lied nor stole from her, i could of told her how i felt instead of holding my emotions in. id love to fix what i lost but its not possible. a way i could fix the issue i have rn is try not to lie and try to convince her to trust me. something i want to take back during our talk? not saying anything at all.

now im not saying any of that was true but its a good example of what to say during this essay you could use ur own words and ur own problem to explain how you could fix,repair and all that other stuff. just use ur own story for the essay.  in ur own words and story try to answer all the questions asked.

If you had to relive that situation all over again, how would you fix the fight or keep it from turning into one?

Think about the following questions and then write several paragraphs in response: When did the fight occur, and what was it about?

Who was at fault—you, the other person, or both of you?

Why do you think it ended poorly?

In general, what would you have done differently?

What could you have said differently that would have let the other person know you were listening?

If you could take back something you said during the fight, what would it be?

What do you wish you would have said during that fight?

Did the fight result in your not being friends or not getting along with that person anymore?

Would you want repair your relationship with this person again?

If so, what are some possible ways to fix the damage?

focus on those questions when doing ur work and explain in detail how u would of fixed it or made it better :)

hope this helps and sorry it was so long anyways ik im asking a lot but if i helped can i get brainliest?

A silo is a composite of a cylindrical tower with a cone for a roof. Find the volume of the silo if the
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

5127079.21 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The silo is in the shape of a cylinder and a cone.

The volume of the silo will be the sum of the volumes of the cylinder and the cone.

Therefore, its volume is:

V = \pi r^2h + \frac{1}{3} \pi rH

where r = radius of cylinder and cone

h = height of cylinder

H = height of cone

The radius of the base is 120 feet, the height of the roof (cone) is 25 feet. The height of the entire silo is 130 feet. This means that the height of the cylinder is:

130 - 25 = 105 feet

Therefore, the volume of the silo is:

V = (\pi * 120^2 * 105) + (\frac{1}{3} * 120^2 * 25)\\\\V = 4750088.09 + 376991.12\\\\V = 5127079.21 ft^3

The volume of the silo is 5127079.21 cubic feet.
