Answer:

2 times as large

Step-by-step explanation:

For the original cylinder, we can say that the volume of a cylinder is equal to V= πr²h. For this cylinder, we can say that V = π * radius² * height. The radius is equal to 1/2 of the diameter, so the original radius is 8/2 = 4. Therefore, the volume of the original cylinder is V = π * radius² * height = π * 4² * 8 = π * 16 * 8 = π * 128

For the new cylinder, "twice as wide" means that the diameter is twice as big as the original one. Half the height means that the height is halved. The new diameter is therefore 8 * 2 = 16 (meaning that the new radius is 16/2=8) while the new height is 8/2 = 4. The new volume is thus

V = π * radius² * height = π * 8² * 4 = π * 64 * 4 = π * 256

To see how much larger the new tank volume is, we can divide (new tank volume) by (old tank volume), resulting in

π * 256 / (π *128) = 2

liq [111]

I want to say -1. if you first combine like terms the equation would look like 2-2x. then next step i did was divide both sides by negative 2 to get the x by itself. after i did that i got -1 x.

By what percent will the product of two numbers decrease if one of them is decreased by 25% and the other one is decreased by 50

olchik [2.2K]

Well, let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"

so a * b = ab

ok... now, if we reduce "a" by 25%, that means the new size is just 75% of the old one, how much is 75% of a? well, (75/100) * a, or 0.75a

now let's reduce "b" by 50%, that means the new size is 50% or half, how much is 50% of b? well (50/100)*b, or 0.5b

$\bf \begin{cases}
a\cdot b\implies ab\\
0.75a\cdot 0.5b\\
\qquad 0.75\cdot 0.5ab\\
\qquad 0.375ab
\end{cases}$

now, the new size of "ab" is just 0.375ab... well, let's revert the decimal format by simply multiplying by 100

0.375 * 100, is 37.5%

the new size of "ab" is just 37.5% of the original "ab"

it decreased by 100 - 37.5 or 62.5%
