Answer:

6.67in long and 4.67in wide

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the amp of the scale 1 inch = 3 mi?

If the measured length is 20miles

Let x be the dimension of the length on the map

1 inch = 3 mi?

x = 20miles

3x = 20

x = 20/3

x = 6.67in

For the width,

Width =14miles

Let y be the dimension of the width on the map

1 inch = 3 mi

y = 14miles

3y = 14

y = 14/3

y = 4.67in

Hence the Yellowstone Lake appears 6.67in long and 4.67in wide on the Map

A population of geese grow in such a way that each generation is simply 2.2 times the previous generation. There were 3 geese in

lapo4ka [179]

First generation: 3

Second generation: $3\times2.2$

Third generation: $3\times2.2\times2.2=3\times2.2^2$

Fourth generation: $3\times2.2\times2.2\times2.2=3\times2.2^3$

And so on. The general formula for the $n$ th generation is $3\times2.2^{n-1}$ . So by the 15th generation, you should expect around $3\times2.2^{15-1}\approx186655$ geese.

There are two vendors at the fair sleeping snow cones for the same price. If the containers are completely filled and then level

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

$d = 787.81cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for the containers

Required

The difference in the amount of snow cone they hold

The amount they hold is determined by calculating the volume of the containers.

The traditional snow cone has the following dimension

Shape: Cone

$r=4cm$ --- radius

$h = 13cm$ --- height

The volume is calculated as:

$Volume = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h$

So, we have:

$V_1 = \frac{1}{3} \pi * 4^2 * 13$

$V_1 = \frac{208}{3} \pi$

The snow cone in a cup has the following dimension

Shape: Cylinder

$r=8cm$ --- radius

$h = 5cm$ --- height

The volume is calculated as:

$Volume = \pi r^2h$

So, we have:

$V_2 = \pi *8^2 * 5$

$V_2 = \pi *320$

$V_2 = 320\pi$

The difference (d) in the amount they hold is:

$d = V_2 - V_1$

$d = 320\pi - \frac{208\pi}{3}$

Take LCM

$d = \frac{3*320\pi -208\pi}{3}$

$d = \frac{960\pi -208\pi}{3}$

$d = \frac{752\pi}{3}$

Take $\pi = 22/7$

$d = \frac{752}{3} * \frac{22}{7}$

$d = \frac{752 * 22}{3*7}$

$d = \frac{16544}{21}$

$d = 787.81cm^3$

If a man earns $420 interest in one year at 7%, what was the amount of money invested?

nordsb [41]

I(interest)=P(princple)R(rate)T(time)
I=420*.07*1=$29.4
A is correct.
Peace.
