3 0

Answer: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of pencils that Jackson has be represented by x.

Since 20% of his pencils are broken which equals 4. This can be written and represented in an equation as:

20% of x = 4

20/100 × x = 4

0.2x = 4

x = 4/0.2

x = 20

There are a total of 20 pencils

Evaluate C= 2 A r, for r= 8.<br>C=10,<br>C = 16<br>C= 28.7<br>C= 16

USPshnik [31]

Answer: Second Option

$C = 16\pi$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are evaluating aarco lengths

The formula for the arc length is:

$C = 2\pi r$

We want to know what is the arc length for a radius of r = 8

Then we substitute r = 8 in the equation and solve

$C = 2 \pi * 8$

$C = 16\pi$

The correct answer is the second option
