Answer:

5n = $10.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the tub is 5 pounds, and costs $10.25. We also know that n is in dollars per pound. Dollars per pound can be written as the product of dollars, divided by pounds, so we can plug that in being n = $10.25/5, next we want to make the equation contain an integer on both sides and not contain any fractions, so we multiply both sides by 5, resulting in 5n = $10.25

A cone is filled to a height of 3 inches with a liquid. The liquid is then poured into an empty cylinder with the same height an

Tasya [4]

Answer: 1 inch

Volume of the cylinder = πr²h

Volume of the cone = 1/3πr²h

If the radius are the same for both the cone and the cylinder, then the liquid will reach 1/3 of its height in the cylinder compared to the cone.

Height = 1/3 x 3 inches
Height = 1 inch

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The height of the cylinder will be 1 inch.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

A) $\dfrac{11}{23}$

B) $\dfrac{88}{345}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A survey of 46 college athletes found that

24 played volleyball,
22 played basketball.

A) If we pick one athlete survey participant at random, the probability they play basketball is

$P_1=\dfrac{22}{46}=\dfrac{11}{23}$

B) If we pick 2 athletes at random (without replacement),

the probability we get one volleyball player is $\dfrac{24}{46}=\dfrac{12}{23};$
the probability we get another basketball player is $\dfrac{22}{45}$ (only 45 athletes left).

Thus, the probability we get one volleyball player and one basketball player is

$P_2=\dfrac{12}{23}\cdot \dfrac{22}{45}=\dfrac{88}{345}$

Parallel to y=−3x−2, through (-3, -3)

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Use the formula y-y1=m(x-x1) <---memorize this. The m here is the slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in y=mx+b form

Remember mx=slope and b=y-intercept

The question wants you to find the equation that is Parallel to y=-3x-2 and passes through (-3,-3)=(x1,y1)

Parallel=same slope -3x

So now all that's left is to plug into the equation.

y-(-3)=-3(x-(-3))

y+3=-3(x+3) ----> positive - a negative = positive so x-(-x)=x+x

y+3=-3x-9 ----> distribute like terms(subtract 3 from 3 and 3 from -9)

y=-3x-12 - This is your answer, you can check by graphing it.
