Answer:

  • 14 oxen
  • 8 ducks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of oxen. Then the number of ducks is 22-x and the number of legs is ...

  4x +2(22 -x) = 72

  2x +44 = 72 . . . . . . . simplify

  x +22 = 36 . . . . . . divide by 2

  x = 14 . . . . . . . . . subtract 22; the number of oxen

  22-x = 8 . . . . . the number of ducks

There are 8 ducks and 14 oxen in the barn.

The diameter of a sphere is 4 centimeters. which represents the volume of the sphere?
amid [387]
The volume of a sphere with respect to its diameter is:

V=(4πr^3)/3

V=(πd^3)/6  (because r=d/2 and r^3=(d^3)/8), we are given that d=4 so

V=64π/6 cm^3

V=32π/3 cm^2

V≈33.51 cm^3  (to nearest hundredth)
