Hey You!

This question is asking us, "75 is 75% of what number?"

75 × 100 / 75 = 100

The original cost was $100.

Two cars which are 40 miles apart start moving simultaneously in the same direction with constant speeds. If the speed of the ca

IgorC [24]

Answer:

5mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that two cars are 40 miles apart at the beginning.

They started at the same time with speeds 48 mph and 56 mph respectively

Since both cars are travelling in the same direction,

Relative velocity = Speed of the behind car-Speed of the first car

=56-48 =8mph

To catch the I car, the second car has to travel a distance of 40 miles extra in the same time as the I car

i.e. speed to be made up by the second car = 40 miles

Relative velocity per hour = 8mph

Hence time taken to catch up = $\frac{40}{8} =5mph$

Find the volume of the cone. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. Use 3.14 for π.

pashok25 [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the volume of a cone is...

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

Since we are using 4 for the radius we can plug that in, along with 12 for the height and 3.14 for pi.

So the equation with everything plugged in will be...

$V=\frac{1}{3}*3.14*4*4*12$

Now we can solve.

$V=200.96$

The volume of the cone is...
