The phrase in the original question is:

....if they lost 12 games......

not

....if they lost board games......

Answer:

36 games won

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\%Win = 75\%$

$Lost = 12\ games$

Required

Number of games won

Give that: $\%Win = 75\%$

The percentage loss is:

$\%Loss = 100\% - \%Win$

So, we have:

$\%Loss = 100\% - 75\%$

$\%Loss = 25\%$

Calculate the number of games (n) using:

$Lost = \%Loss * n$

$12 = 25\% * n$

Make n the subject

$n = \frac{12}{25\%}$

$n = 48$

So, the games won is:

$Win = n - Lost$

$Win = 48 - 12$

$Win = 36$

1. Sand falling from a chute forms a conical pile whose altitude is always equal to 4/3 the radius of the base. (a) How fast is

solong [7]

Answer:

The volume is increasing at a rate of 16286 in³/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The volume of a cone is given by:

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

Where:

r: is the radius

h: is the height

The rate of change of the volume can be calculated by using the chain rule:

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi}{3}[\frac{dh}{dt}r^{2} + h\frac{d(r^{2})}{dt}]$

Since h = 4/3 r we have:

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi}{3}[\frac{d(\frac{4r}{3})}{dt}r^{2} + \frac{4r}{3}\frac{d(r^{2})}{dt}]$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{4\pi}{9}[\frac{dr}{dt}r^{2} + r\frac{d(r^{2})}{dt}]$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{4\pi}{9}[\frac{dr}{dt}r^{2} + 2r^{2}\frac{dr}{dt}]$ (1)

With:

$\frac{dr}{dt}$ = 3 in/min

$r = 3 ft*\frac{12 in}{1 ft} = 36 in$

And by entering the above values into equation (1) we have:

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{4\pi}{9}[(3 in/min)*(36 in)^{2} + 2*(36 in)^{2}*3 in/min]$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = 16286 in^{3}/min$

Therefore, the volume is increasing at a rate of 16286 in³/min.

I hope it helps you!

Find the equation of the line with x-intercept 4 and y-intercept -1 in slope-intercept form.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept, so we can already conclude that b=-1.

This results in y = mx - 1

We also have the x-intercept, and we know that the y-coordinate of an x-intercept is always 0. This means that we have the point (4,0). Substitute this into the formula to generate m:

0 = 4m - 1

4m = 1

m = 1/4

thus y = $\frac{1}{4}$ x - 1

Line RS bisects PQ at point R. Find RQ if PQ = 4 3/4

svetlana [45]

PQ is bisected by RS at R. It means that PRQ is a line segment with PR = RQ and each of half of PQ.

RQ = PQ/2 = 1/2 [ 4 3/4 ] = 1/2 * 19/4 = 19/8  = 2 3/4
