Answer:
<h2>width = 3 feet</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
Let h be the height of the door
and w be its width
The statement “The height of the door is I foot more than twice its width”
can be translated mathematically like this : h = 2w + 1
Let’s solve the equation for w:
h = 2w + 1
⇔ 2w = h - 1
now , if the door is 7 feet high then it’s width is equal to :
For this case we have the following statement:
<em>"You have 2 meters of fabric and you cut 85% to make curtains, 50% of the rest to make the strips that hold it. How many centimeters of fabric were left?"</em>
So, we have:
2 meters ---------> 100%
x ----------------------> 85%
Where "x" represents the amount of fabric meters equivalent to 85%.
Thus, 1.7 meters of fabric were used to make curtains.
There are 0.3 meters of fabric left, of which half (50%) is used to make the strips that hold the curtain. That is to say:
Thus, 0.15 meters of fabric remain.
Thus, 15 cm of fabric remain
Answer;
15 cm
We have been given that a company makes wax candles in the shape of a solid sphere. Each candle has a diameter of 15 cm. We are asked to find the number of candles that company can make from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.
To solve our given problem, we will divide total volume of wax by volume of one candle.
Volume of each candle will be equal to volume of sphere.
, where r represents radius of sphere.
We know that radius is half the diameter, so radius of each candle will be cm.
Now we will divide 70,650 cubic cm of wax by volume of one candle.
Therefore, 40 candles can be made from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.
