Answer:

500\text{ cm}^2

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: A container has a surface area of 3200\text{ cm}^2 and a capacity of 16\text{ litres}. The surface area of a similar container that has a capacity of 0.25\text{ litres} is \text{k}\text{ cm}^2

TO FIND: value of k.

SOLUTION:

Surface area of large container  =3200\text{ cm}^2

Capacity of large container =16\text{ litres}

As the other container is similar

let surface area of other similar container =\text{k}\text{ cm}^2

Capacity of small container =0.25\text{ litre}

As volume of a container is directly proportional to its Capacity

Therefore,

\frac{\text{surface area of large container}}{\text{surface area of small container}}=\frac{16}{0.25}

\frac{3200}{k}=64

k=500\text{ cm}^2

Hence the value of k is 500\text{ cm}^2

A cylindrical oil tank holds 510 gallons when it is filled to its full
stepan [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8 ft = (12 * 8) = 96 inches

3 ft 9 in = (12 * 3) + 9 = 45 inches

510 gallons to 96 inches = x gallons to 45 inches

510 / 96 = x / 45....cross multiply because this is a proportion

(96)(x) = (510)(45)

96x = 22950

x = 22950 / 96

x = 239.0625 rounds to 239.1 gallons <===
