Answer:

Part a) The scale factor of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid in simplest form is $\frac{7}{10}$

Part b) The ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid is $\frac{343}{1,000}$

Part c) The volume of the smaller pyramid is $4,116\ m^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) The scale factor of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid in simplest form

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and this ratio is called the scale factor

so

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> the height of the smaller pyramid

y----> the height of the larger pyramid

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

substitute the values

$z=\frac{21}{30}$

Simplify

$z=\frac{7}{10}$ -----> scale factor in simplest form

Part b) Ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

so

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> the volume of the smaller pyramid

y----> the volume of the larger pyramid

$z^{3}=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{7}{10}$

substitute

$\frac{7}{10}^{3}=\frac{x}{y}$

Rewrite

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{343}{1,000}$ -----> ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid

Part c) The volume of the smaller pyramid

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

so

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> the volume of the smaller pyramid

y----> the volume of the larger pyramid

$z^{3}=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{7}{10}$

$y=12,000\ m^{3}$

substitute the values and solve for x

$(\frac{7}{10})^{3}=\frac{x}{12,000}$

$x=\frac{343}{1,000}(12,000)=4,116\ m^{3}$

Write the number that matches the clues

almond37 [142]

290.

We know that the hundreds is two already.
The tens digit is 9 more than the ones digit, but since a digit can't be more than 9, the ones must be 0.

So the tens is 9 and the ones place is 0. Hopes this helps :)

A business executive bought 40 stamps for

alekssr [168]

Answer:

32 33-cent stamps, 8 23-cent stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question, we need to set up a system of equations. Also known as solving for two variables (the number of each stamp).

Let's set x to be the number of 33-cent stamps. Similarly, let's set y to be the number of 23-cent stamps.

To make our first equation, let's think about the number of stamps total we have. We can say:

$x + y =40$

<em>(AKA - The number of 33-cent stamps, plus the number of 23-cent stamps, equals 40 stamps.)</em>

Now, let's make an equation for the cost of these stamps.

$0.33x + 0.23y = 12.40$

<em>(AKA - The cost of the stamps in total, should equal $12.40).</em>

So now, we have our two equations:

$x + y =40\\0.33x+0.23y=12.40$

If you have a TI-84 graphing calculator, you can go to apps -> polysmlt2 -> simultaneous eqn solver, and then input these equations into the menu. This will solve the problem for you.

If you need to do this manually, let's use substitution. Condense our first equation to make it more substitutable.

$x+y=40\\x=40-y$
