The solution would be like this for this specific problem:
Volume of a cylinder = pi * r^2 * h
Volume of a cone = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h
Total Height = 47
Height of the cone = 12
Height of the cylinder = 35
If the top half is filled with sand, then:
volume (sand) = pi * 4^2 * 36
volume (cone) = 1/3 * pi * 4^2 * 12
Total volume = 1960.353816 cubic millimeters
353816 / (10 * pi) = 62.4 seconds.
It will take 62.4 seconds until all of the sand has dripped to the bottom of the hourglass.
Answer:
20 lemons
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of lemons = 'x'
85% of x = 17
4 loads of stone ... 2/3 ton
1 load of stone ... x ton = ?
If you would like to know the weight of 1 load of stone, you can calculate this using the following steps:
4 * x = 2/3 * 1
4 * x = 2/3 /4
x = 2/3 / 4
x = 2/12 = 1/6 ton
The correct result would be 1/6 ton.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression for the equation representing the prediction of number of trucks as;
2/7 = t/54-t where t is the number of trucks
To get the number of trucks t, we will have to evaluate the expression and solve for t as shown;
Given 2/7 = t/54-t
Cross multiply
2(54-t) = 7t
Open the parenthesis
2(54)-2t = 7t
108-2t = 7t
7t+2t = 108
9t = 108
Divide both sides by 9
9t/9 = 108/9
t = 21
Hence the engineers should have counted 21trucks
