The gas tank on the back of a tanker truck can be equated to a cylinder with a diameter of 8 feet and a length of 19 feet. A gal

lon of gas is approximately 231 cubic inches. The density of the gasoline is .0262 pounds per cubic inch. The driver has stopped at a local farm to fill a tank that has linear dimensions that are 2/3 the size of his tank. If the driver's tank was full and the farmer's tank was empty, what is the mass of the gasoline in each of the tanks after the smaller tank is full?

Answer:

  • driver's tank: 30,427 lb
  • farmer's tank: 12,811 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is ...

  V = πr^2·h . . . radius r, height h

The radius of the driver's tank is half its diameter, so is (8 ft)/2 = 4 ft. Then the volume of that tank is ...

  V = π(4 ft)^2·(19 ft) = 304π ft^3

Each cubic foot of gasoline has a mass of ...

  (1728 in^3/ft^3)(0.0262 lb/in^3) = 45.2736 lb/ft^3

Then the total mass in the driver's full tank is ...

  (304π ft^3)(45.2736 lb/ft^3) ≈ 43,238.3 lb

__

The farmer's tank is a scaled-down version of the driver's tank. It's volume will be scaled by the cube of the linear scale factor, so will be (2/3)^3 = 8/27 of the volume of the driver's tank.

The farmer's tank will hold a mass of (43,238.3 lb)(8/27) ≈ 12,811 lb.

The amount remaining in the driver's tank is 43,238 -12,811 = 30,427 lb.

Eric invited 200 of his friends to his graduation party. 75% of those invited said yes. 15% said no. The rest said maybe. 10% of
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

145

Step-by-step explanation:

75% of 200 = 150

75% + 15% = 90%

100% - 90% = 10%

10% of 200 = 20

10% of 150 = 15

150 + 15  - 20 = 145

145 friends attended the party.

Kim rode her bicycle 135 miles in 9 weeks, riding the same distance each week. Eric rode his bicycle 102 miles in 6 weeks, ridin
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Eric rode 2 more miles per week than Kim rode.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how many miles per week Kim rode by dividing the number of miles she rode by the number of weeks:

135/9

= 15

Find how many miles per week Eric rode:

102/6

= 17

So, Kim rode 15 miles per week and Eric rode 17 miles per week.

The answer is Eric rode 2 more miles per week than Kim rode.

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 65 centimeters. Find the length of the two equal sides when each is 10 centimeters lon
natita [175]

Answer: the length of each of the two equal sides is 25 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of each of the two equal sides. This means that the total length of the two longer sides is 2x.

Let y represent the length of the third side.

The perimeter of a triangle is expressed as the sum of the length of each side of the triangle. The perimeter of the isosceles triangle is 65 centimeters. It means that

2x + y = 65 - - - - - - - - - 1

Each of the equal sides is 10 centimeters longer than the third side. This means that

x = y + 10

Substituting x = y + 10 into equation 1, it becomes

2(y + 10) + y = 65

2y + 20 + y = 65

2y + y = 65 - 20

3y = 45

y = 45/3 = 15

Substituting y = 15 into x = y + 10, it becomes

x = 15 + 10 = 25
