Answer:

10344.827586 basketballs

Step-by-step explanation:

A room measures 15 ft by 20 ft by 10 ft. If a basketball has a diameter of 9.6 inches, approximately how many basketballs will be needed to fill the room?

Step 1

We find the volume of the room

The room is rectangular in shape

Volume = Length × Width × Height

= 15ft × 20ft × 10ft

= 3000ft³

Step 2

Basket ball is spherical in shape

Volume of a sphere = 4/3πr³

Diameter = 9.6 inches

Radius = Diameter/2 = 9.6 /2 = 4.8 inches

Convert Radius from inches to ft

= 4.8inches/12

= 0.408333 feet

Volume of a sphere = 4/3 × π × 0.408333³

= 0.29 ft³

Step 3

3000 ÷ 0.29

10344.827586

From 1970 to 1980, the consumer price index (CPI) increased from 38.8 to 82.4. If a dozen eggs cost $0.25 in 1970 and the price
Ganezh [65]
Understanding the Question
This may not be the actual way that the US government prepares the CPI, but it will provide a comparison. 

You can set up a proportion. The base number for the CPI is 38.8 in 1970. That number (38.8) has more than doubled to get to 82.4, which also tells us that there was inflation. What your parents and grandparents bought in 1970 went to double the amount in 1980. Gasoline certainly did that.

Givens
CPI in 1970 = 38.8
CPI in 1980 = 82.4
Eggs 1970 =  0.25
Edgs 1980 = X

Formula substitution and solution
CPI 1970 / CPI 1980 = cost of eggs 1970 / cost of eggs 1980
38.8/82.4 = 0.25 / x Cross multiply
38.8 * x = 0.25 * 82.4
38.8 * x = 20.625
x = 20.628 /38.8
x = 0.53 dollars of 53 cents.

53 cents in 1980 which is slightly double as predicted.

Footnote
As a matter of interest, my wife tells me that eggs now cost about 3.58 where we live. That's almost 7 times as expensive as they were in 1980. Something to think about. By the way, the price quoted is in Canada.

What is the factorization of this polynomial? 9x^2-0x-4
Harman [31]
9x²-0x-4
=9x²-4
=(3x-2)(3x+2) is the factor form of 9x²-0x-4
Solve for x:
3x-2=0
Add 2 to each side
3x-2+2=0+2
3x=2
Divided 3 to each side
3x/3=2/3
x=2/3
Or
3x+2=0
Subtract 2 to each side
3x+2-2=0-2
3x=-2
Divided 3 to each side
3x/3=-2/3
x=-2/3. Hope it help!
