Box = b
Parrots = p
b/p = number of days it can support the parrots
Half a dozen = 6 (A dozen is 12)
1/6 = 15
To work out the percentage of '6' '5' is, use the equation
(5/6)*100 = 83.333....
Meaning that with one less bird, the box will support the birds for 16.666... (100 - 18.333...) longer
(15/100)*116.666... = 17.4999....
The box will sustain the parrots for 17.5 days
Since a and c in this equation are perfect squares, you know that the value of the factored form is going to be the (sqrt of a*d added to the sqrt of 81)^2, making(d+9)^2
The answer is none. The first 2 trick you
The formula for the volume of a sphere is V=(4/3) (pi) r^3. if r is doubled then you get 2r as the radius and V=(4/3) (pi) * 8r^3 so the volume is eight times bigger than the original r value. if r is tripled the r =3r and (3r)^3 so the volume is 27 times bigger. If r is multiplied by n the radius is nr and (nr)^3 =n^3 r^3, Therefore, the volume is n^3 times bigger than the original.
It looks like you've got six numbers lined up there, every one of them is the same number, and you need to have them added up.
Well, you've got (-6) listed six ==> <em>TIMES</em> <== , so the situation is the same as if you just wrote
6 x (-6)
and that's just <em>-36 </em>.
