Answer:

54 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Joyce age = x

Alex age = y

3x = 2y - - - (1)

y - 9 = 2(x - 9)

y - 9 = 2x - 18

-9 + 18 = 2x - y

9 = 2x - y

y = 2x - 9 - - (2)

3x = 2y

3x = 2(2x - 9)

3x = 4x - 18

18 = 4x - 3x

18 = x

Hence,

Mrs stone is 3 * 18 = 54 years

A cylindrical pail that has the base area of 9 pi inches squared and a height of 10 inches. One friend bought a pyramid mold wit
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

  • cylinder — 90π in³
  • pyramid — 37 1/3 in³
  • cone — 12.5π in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by ...

  V = Bh . . . . . where B is the base area and h is the height

The volume of a pyramid or cone is given by ...

  V = (1/3)Bh . . . . . where B is the base area and h is the height

The area of a square of side length s is ...

  A = s²

The area of a circle of radius r is ...

  A = πr²

___

Using these formulas, the volumes of these objects are ...

  cylinder: (9π in²)(10 in) = 90π in³

  square pyramid: (1/3)(4 in)²(7 in) = 37 1/3 in³

  cone: (1/3)(π(2.5 in)²)(6 in) = 12.5π in³ . . . . slightly larger than the pyramid

Tracy sells water at a fair in 17oz bottles or 11oz cans. If on one shelf she has 11 containers of water that hold a total of 15
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Number of bottles = 6

Number of cans = c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Container for selling water :

17 oz bottle

11 oz can

Let number of bottles = b

Number of cans = c

b + c = 11 - - - (1)

17b + 11c = 157 - - - (2)

b = 11 - c

Substitute into (2)

17(11 - c) + 11c = 157

187 - 17c + 11c = 157

187 - 6c = 157

-6c = 157 - 187

-6c = -30

c = 30/6

c = 5

From ; b = 11 - c

b = 11 - 5

b = 6

Hence,

Number of bottles = 6

Number of cans = c
