A.) Since there are no restrictions as to the dimensions of the candle except that their volumes must equal 1 cubic foot and that each must be a cylinder, we have the freedom to decide the candles' dimensions.
I decided to have the candles equal in volume. So, 1 cubic foot divided by 8 gives us 0.125 cubic foot, 216 in cubic inches.
With each candle having a volume of 216 cubic inches, I assign a radius to each: 0.5 in, 1.0 in, 1.5 in, 2.0 in, 2.5 in, 3.0 in, 3.5 in, and 4.0 in. Then, using the formula of the volume of a cylinder, which is:
V=pi(r^2)(h)
we then solve the corresponding height per candle. Let us let the value of pi be 3.14.
Hence, we will have the following heights (expressed to the nearest hundredths) for each of the radius: for
r=2.5 in: h=11.01 in
r=3.0 in: h= 7.64 in
r=3.5 in: h= 5.62 in
r=4.0 in: h= 4.30 in
r=4.5 in: h= 3.40 in
r=5.0 in: h= 2.75 in
r=5.5 in: h= 2.27 in
r=6.0 in: h= 1.91 in
b. each candle should sell for $15.00 each
($20+$100)/8=$15.00
c. yes, because the candles are priced according to the volume of wax used to make them, which in this case, is just the same for all sizes
By definition, a function is odd if f(-x) = -f(x) for all x in the domain. The answer is choice C
Side note: a function is even if f(-x) = f(x) for all x in the domain
Number of pounds of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds and number of pounds of almonds is 4 pounds.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1:
Given total pounds of mixture = 12 pounds, cost of macadamia nuts per pound = $9, cost of almonds per pound = $5.25, total cost of mixture per pound = $7.75.
Let number of pounds of macadamia nuts be x and number of pounds of almonds be 12-x.
Step 2:
Form an equation using the above information.
⇒ 9x + 5.25 (12-x) = 12 × 7.75
⇒ 9x + 63 - 5.25x = 93
⇒ 9x - 5.25x = 30
⇒ 3.75x = 30
⇒ x = 8
Number of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds.
Step 3:
Calculate number pounds of almonds
⇒ Number of pounds of almonds = 12 - x = 4 pounds.
Question:
Which of the following options have the same value as 65% of 20?
Choose 2 answers:
(A) 0.65⋅20
(B) 65/100 divided by 20
(C) 65/20 * 100
(D) 65 * 20
Answer:
Option A has the same value as 65% of 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the value of 65% of 20
Thus 65% of 20 is 13
Now ,
<u>Solving Option A</u>
=> 
=> 13
<u>Solving Option B</u>
=> 65/100 divided by 20
=>
=>
=>0.0325
<u>Solving Option C</u>
=>65/20 * 100
=>
=>
=>325
<u>Solving Option D</u>
=> 65 * 20
=>
=> 1300
By adding two positives together, or a big positive number with a small negative number.
