Answer:

0.3056 or 30.56%

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the grapefruit with the peel is:

V_p=\frac{4 \pi (d/2)^2}{3}\\V_p=\frac{4 \pi (12/2)^2}{3}\\V_p=48 \pi

When removing the peel, the grapefruit diameter becomes 10 cm (take out 1 cm of peel from each side). The volume of the grapefruit without the peel is:

V_n=\frac{4 \pi (d/2)^2}{3}\\V_n=\frac{4 \pi (10/2)^2}{3}\\V_n=33.333 \pi

The percentage of the volume correspondent to the peel is given by the difference between both volumes, divided by the total volume:

\%P = \frac{48\pi - 33.333\pi}{48\pi}\\ \%P =0.3056 = 30.56\%

30.56% of volume of the grapefruit is the peel.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: \$64.75

Step-by-step explanation:

  You know that for weekdays parking the price is $3.50 and weekends are half price.  Then for weekends, the price is the following:

\frac{\$3.50}{2}=\$1.75

You know that Cindy parked in the garage 20 times per month, and three of these days were weekend days. This means that she parked 17 times in week days and 3 times in weekends days.

 Therefore, the total amount of money she would spend on parking per month can be calculated with:

Total\ per\ month=17(\$3.50)+3(\$1.75)\\\\Total\ per\ month=\$59.5+\$5.25\\\\Total\ per\ month=\$64.75

iragen [17]

Answer:

3964 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of sphere:  V = 4/3 πr³

v₁ = 4/3 x 3.14 x 7³ = 1436

volume of prism: v = Bh     B = 15 x 18 = 270    h = 20

v₂ = 270 x 20 = 5400

v₂ - v₁ = 5400 - 1436 = 3964 in³
