Jake walks a mile to work. If Jake has already walked two-fifths of a mile, how many more feet must he walk to get to work?

Alexxx [7]

1 mile is equal to 5280 feet.

5/5 - 2/5 = 3/5 of a mile left to walk

3/5m * 5280 ft/1m = (3m*5280ft)/(5*1m) = 15840ft/5 = 3158 feet left to walk to get to work.

Or
5280 feet / 5 = 1056 ft * 2 = 2112 ft walked to get to work
5280 - 2112 = 3168 feet left to walk to get to work.

A sphere has a diameter of 12 meters. What is its exact surface area and its exact volume?

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The exact value of its surface area = 144π m²

The exact value of its volume = 288π m³

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The diameter of the sphere is 12m

∴ The radius of the sphere = 12 ÷ 2 = 6m

∵ The surface area of the sphere = 4πr²

∴ The surface area = 4 × π × 6² = 144π m²

∵ The volume of the sphere = 4/3 πr³

∴ The volume = $\frac{4}{3}\pi (6)^{3}$ = 288π m³

Given

P(x)=7x+5

r(x)=x-1

r(p(x))=7x+5-1=7x+4

so, r(p(5))

$\Rightarrow r(p(5))=7\times 5+4=35+4=39$
