Answer:

Just because Michelle checked out 20% of her borrowed books were fictions does not mean Michael had more books. For example, Michelle could have borrowed 100 books, which would result into her borrowing 20 fiction books while Michael could have borrowed just 1 fiction book with a 100% of his borrowed books being a fiction book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just because Michelle checked out 20% of her borrowed books were fictions does not mean Michael had more books. For example, Michelle could have borrowed 100 books, which would result into her borrowing 20 fiction books while Michael could have borrowed just 1 fiction book with a 100% of his borrowed books being a fiction book.

In other words, percentage is just the simplied ratio of something. Percentage cannot account for the original value and its original value cannot be assumed that it is small just because the percentage is small.

BRAINLIEST to wherever gets this correct ​
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

300\pi cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r be the radius of cone and h be the height of cone.

Radius of cylinder=r

Height of cylinder=h

Volume of cone=100\pi ft^3

We have to find the volume of cylinder.

We know that

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

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

r^2 h=300

Volume of cylinder=\pi r^2 h

Using the formula

Volume of cylinder=\pi (300)=300\pi ft^3

Hence, the volume of cylinder=300\pi cubic feet

A treasure map says that a treasure is buried so that it partitions the distance between a rock and a tree in a 5:9 ratio. Marin
RideAnS [48]

The correct answer is option B i.e. (7.6, 8.8)

<h3>What is Distance?</h3>

The length along a line or line segment between two points on the line or line segment.

Let the coordinates of the treasure be (x, y).

Let  d₁ =  distance from the rock to the treasure.

Let  d₂ =  distance from the tree to the treasure.

    d₁ = \sqrt{x^2 + (y-2)^2}

    d₂ = \sqrt{(16-x)^2 + (21-y)^2}

We want d₁/d₂ = 5/9 in order to locate the treasure.

Note that 5/9 = 0.556 (approx)

Test (11.4, 14.2)

d₁ = 14.8, d₂ = 8.2, d₁/d₂ = 1.8           Incorrect

Test (7.6, 8.8)

d₁ = 8.2,  d₂ = 14.8,  d₁/d₂ = 0.554    Correct

Test (5.7, 7.5)

d₁ = 6.13,  d₂ = 16.98, d₁/d₂ = 0.36   Incorrect

Test (10.2, 12.6)

d₁ = 12.8,  d₂ = 10.2, d₁/d₂ = 1.255   Incorrect

Thus, The correct answer is option B i.e.  (7.6, 8.8).

Cube shaped boxes of tissues are shipped to stores in containers. The containers are rectangular prisms. The edges of each tissu
miskamm [114]
I will first calculate the volume of the tissue boxes, that are cubes.

Volume = Base Area x Height

The base area of a cube is a square so:
Base Area (Square) = L^2

In the cube, all sides have the same measure so the height is also L.

L = 6.5 in

Volume (Cube) = L^2 x L = L^3
-> Volume (Cube) = (6.5)^3
-> Volume (Cube) = approximately 275 in^3

Now calculate the Shipping Container volume:
*Represented on the photo, sorry for the bad drawing

The shipping container is a rectangle prism, every rectangle prism have on the base a square, and a square must have every sides with the same measure, knowing that, we know that the two 19.5 inches measures in the question is the length and width of the square. And the 39 inches measure is the Height of the prism.

Base Area (Square) = L^2 = (19.5)^2 = 380,25 in^2 = approx. 380 in^2
Height = 39 in

Volume = Base Area x Height
-> Volume (Prism) = 380 x 39 = 14,820 in^3

Now, to find the greatest number of tissue boxes (cubes) that fit into one container, you just need to divide the container volume by the cube volume and the quotient will be the number of tissue boxes into the container.

Cube's Volume = 275 in^3
Rectangular Prism's Volume = 14,820 in^3

14820 \div 275 = 53.8909....
Answer: 53 tissue boxes.
