Once you add 27+60, the answer is 87
A. The ratio of lynx to mountain lions to wolverines is 2:3:1.
Thus, there are 2 lynx in the ratio. If there were 6 lynx, we would have to multiply all of the numbers in the ratio by 3 (because 6/2 = 3) to keep the ratio in the same proportion.
Therefore, because there is 1 wolverine in the ratio, and 1 * 3 = 3, if there were 6 lynx, there would be 3 wolverines.
b. We can use the same ideas that we had in part a to help us in part b.
There are 3 mountain lions in the ratio, but there are 15 mountain lions in the problem. Thus, the multiplier is 5, because 15/3=5.
Therefore, because there are 2 lynx in the ratio, and 2*5 = 10, if there were 15 mountain lions, there would be 10 lynx.
c. There is one wolverine in the ratio, but there are 10 wolverines in the problem. Thus, the multiplier is 10, because 10/1 = 10
Therefore, because there are 3 mountain lions in the ratio, and 3 * 10 = 30, if there were 10 wolverines in the park, then there would be 30 mountain lions.
d. The total number of lynx, mountain lions, and wolverines is 30.
To find out how many of each animal there should be, we must make an equation using the ratio and the variable x.
2x + 3x + 1x = 30
This equation means that the total number of animals together is 30, which is true. Now let's simplify by combining like terms.
6x = 30
Finally, we can simplify by dividing both sides by the coefficient of x, or 6.
x = 5
Thus, going back to our original equation, we know that the amount of lynx is 2x, mountain lions is 3x, and wolverines is 1x.
Lynx = 2x = 2(5) = 10 lynx
Mountain Lion = 3x = 3(5) = 15 mountain lions
Wolverines = 1x = 1(5) = 5 wolverines
Hope this helps! :)
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We want to find how much paper we need to make the cup. So, we need to find the surface area of the cylinder, which is basically the "walls and floors" of the cup. So, this is the circle on the bottom and the surrounding stuff that goes up. There is no circular top to this cup, which will be important when finding the total area of paper.
So, first we need to find how much paper we need to make the bottom circle. The formula for the area of a circle is A=πr². This r represents the radius, or the distance from the center of the circle to the edge. We are given that the cup is 3 cm completely across, and the radius is be half of that, so the radius is 1.5 cm. Let's find the area. We will use 3.14 for π.
π×1.5²=7.065
Now, we need to find the area of the walls of the cup. The wall is a rectangle that is basically wrapped around the circle. The height of the rectangle is the height of the cup and the length of the rectangle is the circumference (perimeter) of the bottom circle because the length of the rectangle wraps completely around the circle.
First, let's find the circumference of the circle. The circumference is the diameter (distance across the circle, so 3 cm) multiplied by π. We will use 3.14 for π.
3π=9.42
So, this means that the long side of the rectangle is 9.42 cm, and now we multiply this by the height.
9.42×6.4=60.288
Now, we add the rectangle area and the bottom circle area.
60.288+7.065=67.353
But, they want us to round to the nearest centimetre, so we will just say 67 square centimetres.
An important thing to note is that this is not the area of a normal cylinder (one with a top and a bottom circle) because it is a cup so it does not have a top. If you have a cylinder with a top and a bottom, you would just multiply the area of the circle by two, so then you have the top and bottom. If that were the case, the area of our cylinder would be 74 cm with the numbers we have been given here.
Have a wonderful day!
