Darya [45]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let it be

C (5;4) , A (2;1) ; B(7;6)

Suppose that C divide the line AB in ratio m/n from point A (AC is m, CB is n)

Use the formula xc=(m*xb+n*xa)/ (m+n)

5=(m*7+2n)/(m+n)

5m+5n= 7m+2n

2m=3n

m/n=3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Incomplete question [See comment for complete question]

Given

Shape: Cone

$r = 3$ -- radius

$h = 7$ --- height

$Rate = 14in^3/min$

Required

Time to pass out all liquid

First, calculate the volume of the cone.

This is calculated as:

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

This gives:

$V = \frac{1}{3} * 3.14 * 3^2 * 7$

$V = \frac{1}{3} * 197.82$

$V = 65.94in^3$

To calculate the time, we make use of the following rate formula.

$Rate = \frac{Volume}{Time}$

Make Time the subject

$Time= \frac{Volume}{Rate }$

This gives:

$Time= \frac{65.94in^3}{14in^3/min}$

$Time= \frac{65.94in^3}{14in^3}min$

Cancel out the units

$Time= \frac{65.94}{14} min$

$Time= 4.71 min\\$
