Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If 36 boys can conplete a task in 4 hours, then 19.35 boys could do it in 2 and a fourth hours.

You can set up an equation

A fourth of an hour is 15 minutes, so,

36 is to 4 as x is to 2.15, or,

36=4 as X=2.15

Multiply 2.15 by 36 (77.4)

77.4 divided by 4= 19.35.

Of course, you cannot have 19.35 boys, so there must be 20.

Hope this helps!

Find the radius of a circle having area 616cm square.

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Radius \ of \ circle = 14 \ cm}$

Given:

Area of circle = 616 cm²

To Find:

Radius of circle

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf \implies Area \ of \ circle = \pi r^{2} \\ \\ \sf \implies 616 = \frac{22}{7} \times {r}^{2} \\ \\ \sf \implies 616 \times \frac{7}{22} = {r}^{2} \\ \\ \sf \implies 28 \times \cancel{22} \times \frac{7} { \cancel{22}} = {r}^{2} \\ \\ \sf \implies 28 \times 7 = {r}^{2} \\ \\ \sf \implies 196 = {r}^{2} \\ \\ \sf \implies {r}^{2} = 196 \\ \\ \sf \implies r = \sqrt{196} \\ \\ \sf \implies r = \sqrt{ {14}^{2} } \\ \\ \sf \implies r = 14 \: cm$
