Answer: 27 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the car can go 35½ miles in 1½ miles gallons, we need to first calculate the number of miles that the car can go in 1 gallon. This will be:

= 35½ / 1½

= 71/2 / 3/2

= 71/2 × 2/3

= 23⅔ miles per gallon.

Therefore, the amount of gallons that the car need to go 639 miles will be:

= 639 / 23⅔

= 639 ÷ 71/3

= 639 × 3/71

= 27

The car will need 27 gallons.

Water is being poured into a container in the shape of a right circular cone with a radius of 4 ft and height of 16 ft. Find a f

zmey [24]

Answer:

$V=pi*\frac{16 h}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a right circular cone can be found using the equation

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

r is the radius of the cone

h is the height of the cone
pi is the π constant

Since r=4ft, we can model the volume of the water in the cone in terms of the height as

$V=pi*\frac{4^{2} h}{3}$ = $pi*\frac{16 h}{3}$

Evaluate 7+2 times 4

wel

Are there any parentheses in this equation? that would determine what you do first.

if it is (7+2)•4 your answer is 36.
if it is 7+2•4, then your answer would become 7+8, which is 15.
