Answer Step-by-step explanation:

Word (story) problems are easy if you use a table to translate the words to precise, concise math variables and operations.  For example,

      Is means                =

    Larger than                                   +

     Four times a                           4*a

    F is 550 less than S                F = S – 550

      Total of A, B, C                       A + B + C  

This seems obvious – until you get stuck on a word problem.  So,

 “the first company” ,  “a second company”      becomes       Let their costs be F and S

                                                                                                 Let K be the number of kilograms

  “$20 to ship a medium box, plus an additional $2 per kilogram”           F =  $20 + 2*K

   “10 for the same size of box, plus an additional $3 per kilogram”           S  =  $10 + 3*K

  “the two shipping methods will cost the same amount”                               F = S

 “What is that weight?”                                                                             report K

 

Now, the math:

        F        =        S

  20 + 2K   =   10 + 3K

     $10  =  K

1. What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 3.4 cm? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. (use 3.14 for pi)
Brilliant_brown [7]
1. The area of a circle is
a = \pi {r}^{2}
\pi = 3.14 \\ r =  \frac{3.4}{2}  = 1.7
a = (3.14) {(1.7)}^{2}  \\  = 9.0746
The area is 9.07 cm^2.

2. The volume of a cube is
v =  {s}^{3}
s = 4.5
v =  {(4.5)}^{3}  \\  = 91.125
The volume is 91.125 m^3

I need help with intercepts from a graph
Rina8888 [55]

Explanation: The y axis is the line that goes up and down, vertical. The x axis is the line that goes straight across, horizontal. So, when looking for intercepts we have to see what numbers your graphed line goes through.

Make sure when you are writing your points you write it in (x,y) form. If you don't it will be wrong.

So, for our x intercept it would be -7,0.

This is because your graphed line goes through x at -7 and it has no y, so that would be 0.

For your y intercept, it would be 0,2

This is because our line does not go through x, so we make that 0. It does go through y at 2.

Hope this helps :)

If you need elaboration on anything let me know. I know sometimes with math it is kind of hard to explain through typing.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS. HELP
mixas84 [53]
Ok, so since she spent $15 each week for 10 weeks, she spent a total of $150 over those 10 weeks. The best approach I would use for this is cross multiplication. The total percentage of Books and music would be 35% out of 100% because 10+25=35. The answer is b, 50.

Hope this helps :)
