Answer:

The percentage of increase is 37%

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to find the percentage of increase is to divide The difference between the two numbers by the number before the increase

7.8 - 5.7 = 2.1

The difference between 7.8 and 5.7 is 2.1

So now we divided 2.1 by the number before the increase, in this case, 5.7

2.1 ÷ 5.7 = 0.3684

0.3684 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 0.37

Thus the percentage of increase is 37%

Solve the problem.<br> Find the radius of a circle that has a circumference of 942 meters.<br> m
Montano1993 [528]
Circumference is equal to diameter multiplied by pi. C=d X pi. To find the radius we need to rearrange this equation. We know what pi and the circumference are, so to find diameter we do circumference divided by pi. D=c/pi. 942/pi = 299.85. This gives us the diameter, for the radius simply divide by 2 which is 149.92 :)

Carla is collecting rainwater in a barrel. Currently she has 18 inches of water in the barrel. The rain is falling at the rate o
olga_2 [115]

Answer: it will take 9 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rain is falling at the rate of 1.5 inches per hour. This means that the height of water in the barrel is increasing in arithmetic progression.

The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + d(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 18 inches

d = 1.5 inches

The expression becomes

Tn = 18 + 1.5(n - 1)

For the number of hours it would take to collect 30 inches of rain in the barrel, Tn = 30

Therefore,

30 = 18 + 1.5(n - 1)

1.5(n - 1) = 30 - 18

1.5(n - 1) = 12

n - 1 = 12/1.5 = 8

n = 8 + 1

n = 9
