Yes, the 36" shelf can hold all 24 books. As 5/4=1.25" meaning, you take 1.25X24=30". So 24 books only take up 30 inches of a 36 inch shelf.

What is the value of n?

melamori03 [73]

The answer for this question that needs an answer is n = 5

because 18(n-1) = 9(n+7) implies that 18n - 18 = 9n + 63 which implies that n =5 for the equation to hold true.

An engineer is planning a new water pipe installation. The circular pipe has a diameter of d=20\text{ cm}d=20 cmd, equals, 20, s

aivan3 [116]

Answer: The answer is 314.28 cm² (approx.).

Step-by-step explanation: Given that an engineer is going to install a new water pipe. The diameter of this circular pipe is, d = 20 cm.

We need to find the area 'A' of the circular cross-section of the pipe.

Given, diameter of the circular section is

$\textup{d}=20~\textup{cm}.$

So, the radius of the circular cross-section will be

$\textup{r}=\dfrac{\textup{d}}{2}=\dfrac{20}{2}=10~\textup{cm}.$

Therefore, cross-sectional area of the pipe is

$\textup{A}=\pi \textup{r}^2=\dfrac{22}{7}(10)^2=\dfrac{2200}{7}=314\dfrac{2}{7}=314.28~.~.~.~\textup{cm}^2.$

Thus, the answer is 314.28 cm² (approx.).

In 2018, the number of students at The Villages High School was 975 and is increasing at a rate of 2.5% per year. Write and use

avanturin [10]

Answer:

$A(t)=975(1.025)^t$

In 2025,the number of students at the villages high school=1159

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in 2018

Number of students at the villages high school=975

Increasing rate,r=2.5%=0.025

We have to write and use of exponential growth function to project the populating in 2025.

$A_0=975,t=0$

According to question

Number of students at the villages high School is given by

$A(t)=A_0(1+r)^t$

Substitute the values

$A(t)=975(1+0.025)^t=975(1.025)^t$

t=7

Substitute the value

Then, the number of students at the villages high school in 2025

$A(7)=975(1.025)^7=1158.96\approx 1159$

if the cost price of 10 tables is equal to the selling price of 16 tables , find out the gain or loss percentage

Dovator [93]

Hi,

To solve this problem, Let us take the LCM of 10 and 16 which will come 80.

Now suppose the cost price of 10 tables =₹n CP of 80 tables will be ₹ 8n

According to the question, CP of 10 tables is equal to the SP of 16 tables, then

the SP of 16 tables will also be ₹ n.

So, SP of 80 tables will be ₹ 5n

So, Loss = CP-SP

→ 8n - 5n = ₹ 3n

Loss%= (3n×100)/8n

Loss%= 37.5%.

Hence the correct answer will be a <u>loss of 37.5%.</u>
