Answer:

E started with 26 books, sold 13 books, bought 17 more books, and ended with 30 books

Step-by-step explanation:

E has _ books: x

E Sells 1/2 of that _ books: x/2

E buys 17 books and now had 30: (x/2) + 17 = 30

30 - 17 = 13

13 x 2 = 26

x/2 = 26

13 + 17 = 30 <-- checking work

My guess is that x = 13

Grain is falling from a chute onto the ground, forming a conical pile whose diameter is always three times its height. how high

bezimeni [28]

Given that grain is falling from a chute onto the ground, forming a conical pile whose diameter is always three times its height.

So if D is the diameter and h is the height of the conical pile then we can write:

D=3h

We know that diameter = 2r, where r is the radius

2r=3h

$r=\frac{3h}{2}$

Volume of conical pile is given by formula

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

Given that volume is 1110 cubic feet.

Now plug the values of Volume and r into equation of volume

$1110=\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{3h}{2})^2h$

$1110=\frac{1}{3}\pi\cdot\frac{9h^2}{4}\cdot h$

$1110=\pi\cdot\frac{3h^3}{4}$

$1110\cdot\frac{4}{3\pi}=h^3$

$471.098631552=h^3$

take cube root of both sides

7.78103342467=h

Hence height is approx 7.78 feet.

Blake has 25 CD's.

25 times 3 = 75
75 + 7 = 82

Joel has 82 CD's.

If Joel has twice as many as Mariella, then divide 82 by 2 and you get 41.

Mariella has 41 CD's.
